About this Item

More Java developers want to work with XML, the technology that enables data to be transported intact over the Internet, but they don't have time to become XML experts. Therefore they should appreciate data binding, the way of converting XML documents into Java objects, so those documents can be worked on and manipulated like any other Java object, then converted back to XML. This new title offers an in-depth technical look at XML Data Binding and complete documentation of all features in both the Sun Microsystems JAXB API and open source alternative implementations (Enhydra Zeus, Exolabs Castor and Quick). It also gets into detail about when data binding is appropriate to use, and provides numerous practical examples of using data binding in applications.

About this title

Synopsis

More Java developers today want to work with XML, the technology that enables data to be transported intact over the Internet, but they don't have time to become XML experts. If this describes you, then you'll appreciate data binding, the new way of converting XML documents into Java objects, so those documents can be worked on and manipulated like any other Java object, then converted back to XML

This new title provides an in-depth technical look at XML Data Binding. The book offers complete documentation of all features in both the Sun Microsystems JAXB API and popular open source alternative implementations (Enhydra Zeus, Exolabs Castor and Quick). It also gets into significant detail about when data binding is appropriate to use, and provides numerous practical examples of using data binding in applications.

As Author Brett McLaughlin says "Too many books are written about technologies by people who barely understand them. I've already written two data binding implementations (Zeus, and a previous one for IBM DeveloperWorks.) I've actually used data binding for longer than the official specification has been in existence, and I've really been able to dig into what it takes to code an effective data biding implementation, as well as use one correctly. This book is part user guide, part under-the-hood manual, and part use-case. It's a powerful combination, and one I think people need."
