JAX Binding

Also called as Project Adelard and XML/Java Binding. This is proposed specification from Javasoft that will define an XML data-binding facility for the Java Platform. Such a facility compiles an XML schema into one or more Java classes. These automatically-generated classes handle the translation between XML documents that follow the schema and interrelated instances of the derived classes. They also ensure that the constraints expressed in the schema are maintained as instances of the classes are manipulated. More at http://java.sun.com/xml

Java Architecture for XML Binding - provides a mapping between XML document elements and Java classes, allowing XML documents to be treated as native Java objects
