XMLBeans provides a simple, easy-to-use means for accessing XML. With
XMLBeans, you can compile schema to generate Java types that can be bound to
XML based on the schema. You can also access XML with schema by using an XML
cursor, which provides an access model that is an alternative to DOM-based
models.
