There is a full introduction to XML data binding which has been done by Boris Kolpackov. He describes the difficulties experienced in both DOM and SAX when handling a large XML document since both of them are XML structure representations operating in attributes, text and generic elements. A bridging code is often written down by an application developer which allows for the functionality of identification and transformation of XML information to a more suitable representation for the purpose of consumption by the application
Let's suppose that you have an XML document and you need to process its data in a compiling language, such as C or C++. In such a case, you would have to create a program that would automatically parse the requested documents, basing on their structure.
XSD from CodeSynthesis comes to help the programmer work with XML data structures by automating the process of creation of code by creating the required C++ classes from an XML instance specification file.
By using CodeSynthesis XSD, you can easily create programs that work directly
This editorial is a short description about introduction to XML data binding in C++. Today XML is the most demanding application which every developer is using. Those developers who are using C++ are also processing XML files for development. When we talk about large XML vocabularies low level XML access of API’s such as DOM and SAX is dreary and error full. This is the reason why XML data binding is launched and it is becoming the most successful way for developers nowadays. It is the new alternate which is really helpful to automates
Boris Kolpackov put together a full introduction to XML Data Binding in C++: "Anyone who has had to handle a large XML vocabulary using DOM or SAX can attest that the task is hardly enjoyable. After all, both DOM and SAX are raw representations of the XML structure, operating in generic elements, attributes, and text. An application developer often has to write a substantial amount of bridging code that identifies and transforms pieces of information encoded in XML to a representation more suitable for consumption by the application
"CodeSynthesis XSD is an open-source, cross-platform W3C XML Schema to C++ data binding compiler. Provided with an XML instance specification (XML Schema), it generates C++ classes that represent the given vocabulary as well as parsing and serialization code. You can then access the data stored in XML using types and functions that semantically correspond to your application domain rather than dealing with intricacies of reading and writing XML.... The process of extracting the data from a direct representation of XML (such as DOM or SAX) and
XML processing has become a common task that many C++ application developers have to deal with. Using low-level XML access APIs such as DOM and SAX is tedious and error-prone, especially for large XML vocabularies. XML Data Binding is a new alternative which automates much of the task by presenting the information stored in XML as a statically-typed, vocabulary-specific object model. This article introduces XML Data Binding and shows how it can simplify XML processing in C++.

In this article, we will walk through marshalling data to and from XML, using a XML data-binding API. The first question is, why? Why not use SAX or DOM? Personally, when I sit down to work with XML, I get frustrated with the amount of code that you need to write to do simple things.
I came across JDOM and found it to be something I was looking for. DOM is built to be language-agnostic, and hence doesn't feel very "Java-like." JDOM does a great job in being DOM, in a way I would like to use it in Java.
For some applications, I don't want to even
VTD-XML is a new open source XML processing API that provides a great alternative to SAX and DOM that doesn't force you to trade processing performance for usability. Find out why this Java-based, non-validating parser is faster than DOM and better than SAX.
VTD-XML is a new, open-source, non-validating, non-extractive XML processing API written in Java. Different from current XML processing technologies, VTD-XML is designed to be random-access capable without incurring excessive resource overhead. One key optimization of VTD-XML is non-extractive
Welcome to Processing XML with Java, a complete tutorial about writing Java programs that read and write XML documents. This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date book about integrating XML with Java (and vice versa) you can buy. It contains over 1000 pages of detailed information on SAX, DOM, JDOM, JAXP, TrAX, XPath, XSLT, SOAP, and lots of other juicy acronyms. This book is written for Java programmers who want to learn how to read and write XML documents from their code. The paper version is published by Addison-Wesley, and can be found at fine
Introduction:
This package contains an implementation of the W3C XML Schema Language, a recommendation of the Worldwide Web Consortium available in three parts: XML Schema: Primer and XML Schema: Structures and XML Schema: Datatypes. We consider this implementation to be complete except for the limitations cited below. The implementation has been extensively tested and known problem areas are set out below. In this document we also discuss our interpretation of the specifications where it seems to us particularly likely that others might arrive at a
