General Information

Website:	Go to site
Description:	JAXB RI provides a reference implementation Java Architecture for XML Binding specification which allows for marshaling and un-marshaling of Java Objects to XML. This implementation is part of Glassfish a reference implementation of the Java Enterprise Edition standards. The reference implementation can be used independently in applications requiring the ability to marshal and un-marshal Java Object to XML.
