| JiBX is a tool for binding XML data to Java objects. It's extremely flexible, allowing you to start from existing |
| Java code and generate an XML schema, start from an XML schema and generate Java code, or bridge your existing code |
| to a schema that represents the same data. It also provides very high performance, outperforming all other Java |
| data binding tools across a wide variety of tests. |
| |
| How does JiBX manage to provide both flexibility and performance? The key is using binding definition documents to |
| specify how your Java objects are converted to or from XML, combined with bytecode enhancement to embed the |
| conversion code directly into your classes. The bytecode enhancement is done by executing one of the JiBX components |
| (the binding compiler) after your Java classes have been compiled. Once the binding compiler has run and your |
| classes have been enhanced with the JiBX binding code, you can continue the normal steps you take in assembling your |
| application (such as building jar files, etc.). |
| |
| The second JiBX component is the binding runtime. The enhanced class files generated by the binding compiler use |
| this runtime component both for actually building objects from an XML input document (called unmarshalling, in data |
| binding terms) and for generating an XML output document from objects (called marshalling). The runtime uses a |
| separate XML parser (either one based on the XMLPull open source API, or on the StAX Java standard), but is |
| otherwise self-contained. |
| |
| Performance was originally part of the inspiration for writing JiBX, and JiBX has consistently delivered performance |
| far ahead of the field. We're not aware of any recent published performance comparisions between data binding |
| frameworks, but you can view some older results from the BindMark tests, along with a similar study focused around |
| Web services performance.. These sets of results are both from late 2005, but our own testing shows that little |
| has changed since then. |
