Schemaless Java-XML Data Binding with VTD-XML (XML.com)
Jimmy Zhang
discusses Java-XML data binding on O'Reilly's XML.com.
"
This article introduces a new Java-XML data binding technique based entirely on VTD-XML and XPath. The new approach differs from traditional Java-XML data binding tools in that it doesn't mandate schema, takes advantage of XML's inherent loose encoding, and avoids needless object creation, resulting in much greater efficiency."
