JAXB (Java Architecture for XML Binding)

JAXB, or Java Architecture for XML Binding, is a framework that allows developers to convert Java objects into XML format and vice versa. Think of it as a translator between the structured data in Java programs and the readable format of XML, which is often used for data storage and communication. By using JAXB, developers can easily create, read, and manipulate XML data without dealing with the complexity of XML parsing directly, making it easier to work with data in applications. It streamlines the process of data exchange between different systems, enhancing interoperability.
