Serializing Java Objects with XStream (O'Reilly)

[Posted August 25, 2004 by cook]

Michael Fitzgerald writes about XStream on O'Reilly. "Joe Walnes's XStream is a unique open-source Java library for serializing objects into XML and deserializing that XML into objects. Unlike other APIs, such as David Megginson's XMLWriter or Elliotte Rusty Harold's XOM, which use specific classes and methods to produce XML, XStream relies on Java idioms such as object names to produce element names and strings within classes to produce element content. It also produces a kind of reflection of objects in XML."
