DESCRIPTION
JXPath and Betwixt are two components that showcase the best of XML handling routines that the Commons component provides. These are complementary technologies that enable high degree of interaction between Java objects and XML data. Betwixt is a Data Binding tool and JXPath provides an expression language for complex data structures and objects. JXPath is based on the XPath syntax.
This module showcases the best of two components of the XML world! Betwixt part of this module shows you the meaning of Data Binding and how this concept relates to Java objects. It also shows you how Betwixt works, a very important concept that must be understood before Betwixt is used. It has detailed examples and best practices for using this component in real world situations. JXPath part of this module covers a detailed examination of XPath, the W3C standard for locating parts in an XML document. This module shows how this is relevant to Java objects and how it makes it easier to locate complex maps, collections and nested objects, and modify them. This module also covers Variables and Pointers, JXPath concepts that are normally hard to understand.
