XML Details

<p>
	Juneau supports converting arbitrary POJOs to and from XML using ultra-efficient serializers and parsers.
	The XML serializer converts POJOs directly to XML without the need for intermediate DOM objects.
	Likewise, the XML parser uses a STaX parser and creates POJOs directly without intermediate DOM objects. 
</p>
<p>
	Unlike frameworks such as JAXB, Juneau does not require POJO classes to be annotated to produce and consume 
	XML.
	However, several XML annotations are provided for handling namespaces and fine-tuning the format of the XML produced.
</p>
<p>
	The following example shows XML for a typical bean:
</p>
<h5 class='figure'>Sample Beans</h5>
<p class='bpcode w800'>
	<ja>@Bean</ja>(typeName=<js>"person"</js>)
	<jk>public class</jk> Person {
		
		<jc>// Bean properties</jc>
		<jk>public</jk> String <jf>name</jf>;
		<ja>@Swap</ja>(TemporalCalendarSwap.IsoInstant.<jk>class</jk>) <jk>public</jk> Calendar <jf>birthDate</jf>;
		<jk>public</jk> List&lt;Address&gt; <jf>addresses</jf>; 
	
		<jc>// Getters/setters omitted</jc>
	}
	
	<ja>@Bean</ja>(typeName=<js>"address"</js>)
	<jk>public class</jk> Address {

		<jc>// Bean properties</jc>
		<jk>public</jk> String <jf>street</jf>, <jf>city</jf>;
		<jk>public</jk> StateEnum <jf>state</jf>;
		<jk>public int</jk> <jf>zip</jf>;
		<jk>public boolean</jk> <jf>isCurrent</jf>;

		<jc>// Getters/setters omitted</jc>
	}	
</p>
<h5 class='figure'>Sample Code</h5>
<p class='bpcode w800'>
	Person p = <jk>new</jk> Person()
		.name(<js>"John Smith"</js>)
		.birthDate(<js>"1946-08-12T00:00:00Z"</js>)
		.addresses(
			<jk>new</jk> Address() 
				.street(<js>"100 Main Street"</js>)
				.city(<js>"Anywhereville"</js>)
				.state(<jsf>NY</jsf>)
				.zip(12345)
				.isCurrent(<jk>true</jk>);
		);
</p>
<h5 class='figure'>Normal XML:</h5>
<p class='bpcode w800'>
	<xt>&lt;person&gt;</xt>
		<xt>&lt;name&gt;</xt>John Smith<xt>&lt;/name&gt;</xt>

			<xt>&lt;address&gt;</xt>

				<xt>&lt;isCurrent&gt;</xt>true<xt>&lt;/isCurrent&gt;</xt>
			<xt>&lt;/address&gt;</xt>
		<xt>&lt;/addresses&gt;</xt>
	<xt>&lt;/person&gt;</xt>
</p>
<p>
	Juneau produces JSON-equivalent XML, meaning any valid JSON document can be losslessly converted into an XML 
	equivalent.
	In fact, all of the Juneau serializers and parsers are built upon this JSON-equivalence.
