O/X mapping概念及JAXB简介

Object/XML Mapping (O/X mapping)指XML文档与Java对象之间的映射关系。

XML Marshalling(也称为XML Serialization)是指在XML文档与Java对象之间的转换过程。

将Java对象转换为XML文档,称为marshaller 。

将XML文档转换为Java对象,称为unmarshaller 。


常见的O/Xmapping API:

  • JAXB
  • XMLBeans
  • JiBX
  • Castor
  • XStream


JAXB specification provides a way to map Java classes to XMLrepresentations,是JCP的标准之一:

  • JAXB 1.0,JSR-31
  • JAXB 2.0/2.1/2.2,JSR-222

JAXB RI是JAXB规范的实现。JAXB project的主要目的就是开发并维护JAXB RI,当前最新版是2014.10发布的JAXB RI 2.2.11。

此外,JAXB project还提供了如下扩展工具:

  • Jsonix - JAXB analog for JavaScript
  • Hyperjaxb3 - relational persistence for JAXB objects with JPA (Hibernate,TopLink etc.)
  • XJCplugins - variousenhancements to XJC developed by the community
  • MavenJAXB2 Plugin - actualMaven plugin for JAXB2
  • JAXB2reflection library
  • JAXBIntroductions - put JAXBannotations on 3rd party classes
  • Annox - allows defining JAXB annotations in XML resources
  • JAXB Workshop, Eclipse Plugins

 

从JDK6开始,JavaArchitecture for XML Binding (JAXB) 成为JDK的组成部分:

  • JAXB RI 2.0.3 in JDK 6 first release - JDK6 u3
  • JAXB 2.0 in JavaEE 5
  • JAXB RI 2.1.3 in JDK 6 u4
  • JAXB RI 2.1.10 in JDK 6 u14
  • JAXB RI 2.2.4-1 in JDK 7 first release
  • JAXB 2.2.4 in JavaEE 6 
  • JAXB RI 2.2.4-2 in JDK 7 u6
  • JAXB 2.2.11 in JDK 8 
  • JAXB 2.2.11 in JavaEE 7 

  

two features of JAXB:

  • to marshal Java objects into XML
  • to unmarshal XML back into Java objects

 

1.     XML Schema -> Java class

JAXB provides“xjc” tool to convert XML Schema to class representations.

JAXB bindingcompiler xjc is also part of the JDK6,it is a command line tool which can beused togenerate binding classes basedon an existing XSD schema description.

 

2.      Javaclass -> XML Schema

JAXB includes a“schemagen” tool which can create an XML Schema from a set of annotatedclasses.
