The Koala Bean Markup Language

Description

KBML is a Java library that enables the serialization of JavaBeans in XML. The Koala project has already provided such a library (KOML) which relies on java serialization to generate the XML. However this low-level approach is too close to the java serialization, and inherits the same drawbacks. IBM's BML is great, but it can only generate beans. There is currently no way to save beans in BML, in the general case. With KBML, a bean is saved as a class name with its property values. At load time, a new instance of the bean is created, and the property values are set. The mechanism is very simple, and relies completely on the bean protocol to save and load XML (Definition adapted from the Koala team' Web site)
