把Java对象映射成XML文档,这是Java对象持久化的一种新思路。在XML.com的一篇文章里,作者对四种主要的Java-XML映射工具进行了全面的比较:
比较的标准主要有以下几条:(1)对XML大纲(schema)特性的支持程度;(2)生成Java代码的可用性;(3)Java-XML转换(以及反向转换)的工作情况。
测试的结果如下。可以看到,Sun的JAXB参考实现竟然有着绝佳的表现,不论在性能还是特性集方面,都仅次于XGen,名列第二。这让我对JAXB又多了几分信心。

1 -- Mapped if no other package name is specified. 2-- JAXB will be available as an open source project in the upcoming future. More information can be found at http://jaxb.dev.java.net/. 3 -- Only on marshaller class. 4 -- Off by default. 5 -- Some values validated. 6 -- Interfaces based on functionality instead of type of XML Schema construct.
