Best XML Builder That Doesn't Use Annotations

Question

Can you recommend a fast XML Builder in Java that doesn't use annotations? Thanks.

Answer 1

JAXB 2. You can use it without annotations by defining mappings in XML resources.

Answer 2

Betwixt, from apache is pretty good for simple things. http://commons.apache.org/betwixt/

Answer 3

Xstream is the best and fastest structure. It is also easier to learn.

Answer 4

XMLEncoder . This is a standard Java class, a simple, inefficient way to serialize objects into XML.

Answer 5

How about StaxMat e - very lightweight, faster than a cardboard object solution (XStream or JAXB), still reasonably easy to use for many use cases.

Of course, this depends on how quickly you mean the time to write the code (if so, XStream is probably the thing) or the time it started (in this case, simple Stax / SAX script writers like StaxMate or XMLBuilder, things); XStream is not particularly fast, although it is not the slowest thing.
