I'm hoping to update my data binding performance results sometime soon (though probably not on devWorks). In the meantime there's another study including XMLBeans at https://bindmark.dev.java.net/current-results.html you can look at. This latter study has some weaknesses, I think. One is that it includes both serialization frameworks (which use their own custom XML representation for Java objects) and true binding frameworks (which let the user define the XML format). Another is that it uses only a single small document for the tests. Still, it shows JiBX as top of the performance heap so it can't be too wrong... ;-)

In general I recommend XMLBeans for cases where you really want to preserve the XML document structure and only work with data binding for selected pieces of the document. For instance, I think XMLBeans would be ideal for working with WSDL documents (I'd use it in JibxSoap if it wasn't so big). If you really just want to use data binding I don't think XMLBeans is a good choice (the generated object model is inflexible, conversions to/from objects are relatively slow, the memory usage is much higher due to the entire document being stored, etc.).

Hi JiBXers,

  can anyone comment on the performance and usability of JiBX versus
XMLBeans?  I have seen Dennis's performance evaluation on the
developerworks site and I'm wondering where XMLBeans fits into
the picture.
