It is an XML-Java binding tool. The idea is that you can take +advantage the richness and features of XML and XML Schema and have these +features mapped as naturally as possible to the equivalent Java language and +typing constructs. XMLBeans uses XML Schema to compile Java interfaces and +classes that you can then use to access and modify XML instance data. Using +XMLBeans is similar to using any other Java interface/class, you will see things +like getFoo or setFoo just as you would expect when working with Java. While a +major use of XMLBeans is to access your XML instance data with strongly typed +Java classes there are also API's that allow you access to the full XML infoset +(XMLBeans keeps full XML Infoset fidelity) as well as to allow you to reflect +into the XML schema itself through an XML Schema Object model. + +</longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
