2009-01-17 Saturday - XML Binding Background Material

I'm researching some XML Binding issues for a client and have assembled some references that may be of interest to others...

In particular, after reviewing the rest of the material below, you'll want to come back and pay careful attention to this article:

The BindMark XML Binding Performance Benchmark (for Java)
https://bindmark.dev.java.net/old-index.html

Although the BindMark performance benchmark is a bit dated - it is a helpful reference to illustrate the point that there are sometimes significant performance versus ease-of-use trade-offs to be considered in the evaluation and selection of tools.
