Java^TM Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB)

JAXB is now available as an Early Access release. This architecture provides an API and tools that automate the mapping between XML documents and Java objects.

JAXB makes XML easy to use by compiling an XML schema into one or more classes. The generated classes handle all the details of XML parsing and formatting, they ensure that the constraints expressed in the schema are enforced, and in many cases they are much more efficient than using a SAX (Simple API for XML) parser or an implementation of the DOM (Document Object Model) API.

Platforms

JAXB 1.0 will be available as an optional package for the Java^TM 2 Platform.

Java Community Process

JAXB is being developed through the Java Community Process^SM program under JSR-31.
