XML to java binding

Thread view:

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for an open source XML to java binding tool. There are so
many of them that I've decided to focus only on the apache fundation
tools.

XMLBeans : technology for accessing XML by binding it to Java types
JaxMe 2 : A Java/XML binding compiler that takes as input a schema
description and outputs a set of Java classes

Can someone tell me what is exactly the difference between these two
tools ?

I guess that since "JaxMe2" is an implementation of JAXB, it is more
standard than XMLBeans... but which one would you recommend ?

thanks for helping !

If you are interested in XML data-binding with Java, you might want to
check out this series of articles, which compares the major alternatives
and introduces a new framework called JiBX.

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-databd3/

I have been using Castor XML for the last year or so, but JiBX looks
promising and I will be evaluating it when I get time.

I also just found this site, which gives a concise summary of the relative
merits of the different frameworks:
