Data Binding for XML and JSON

The standard industry approach to handling JSON and XML payloads is to use a data binding solution (has objects that serialize and deserialize XML or JSON streams directly). Data Bindling objects are compiled from message specifications e.g. XSD files by an offline process and loaded into the system as a library for use by the online processing. Application layer is abstracted away from the DOM structures of XML and JSON. By automating production of these classes errors are eliminated and updates and new features are added simply by recompiling with no code changes needed in the application until they want to exploit the new feature. The ideal solution would be an eclipse plug in that can be run locally by a developer, the next best solution would be a Linux based utility that could generate code and a systems team developer would load it into the production library.

    IBM does not intend to implement this in the foreseeable future.
