Question: Why Use XML Binding?

• It's not necessary. Everything that must be done with XML can be done with SAX and DOM.
• It's easier, don't have to write as much code, don't have to learn SAX and/or DOM.
• It's less error-prone, all the features of the schema are utilized, don't have to remember to manually implement them.
• It can allow customization of the XML structure unlike XMLEncoder and XMLDecoder in the java.beans package.
