JAXB provides an easy way to convert XML or JSON representations of data into Java objects and vice versa. Using simple annotations, you can have a JAXB implementation create XML or JSON data from a Java object or create a Java object from XML or JSON.
To understand how Java data types are mapped to XML schema types in JAXB, refer to https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jaxb/intro/bind.html.
The following are a few important JAXB annotations:
- @XmlRootElement: This annotation specifies the root element of the XML document and is typically used at the class level.
- @XmlElement: This annotation specifies an XML element that is not a root element. Java class members can be marked as XMLElement when the class is annotated with @XmlRootElement.
- @XmlAttribute: This annotation marks a member of the Java class as an attribute of the parent XML element.
- @XmlAccessorType...
