XStream

Categories:	Persistence - Data-tier XML
Latest version:	1.2.1
Description:	Library to serialize objects to XML and back again. Features include: - A high level facade is supplied that simplifies common use cases. - Most objects can be serialized without need for specifying mappings. - Designed for speed and low memory footprint, making it suitable for large object graphs or systems with high message throughput. - No information is duplicated that can be obtained via reflection. This results in XML that is easier to read for humans and more compact than native Java serialization. - Requires no modifications to objects: Serializes internal fields, including private and final. Supports non-public and inner classes. Classes are not required to have default constructor. - Full object graph support: Duplicate references encountered in the object-model will be maintained. Supports circular references. - Integrates with other XML APIs. By implementing an interface, XStream can serialize directly to/from any tree structure (not just XML). - Customizable conversion stategies: Strategies can be registered allowing customization of how particular types are represented as XML. - Error messages: When an exception occurs due to malformed XML, detailed diagnostics are provided to help isolate and fix the problem.
