XBinder is an XML Schema to C/C++, Java, or C# code generation tool. XML data binding (or code generation) is a process in which XML schema information items are transformed into type definitions and functions in a computer language.The source code produced by the XBinder code generation tool is C, C++, Java, or C# source code that consists of type definitions and encode/decode functions. This provides a complete Application Programming Interface (API) for working with all of the message definitions contained within an XML schema specification.
In addition to the code generator, a run-time library of common encode/decode functions is also part of the package. This library contains routines to encode and decode the base XML schema simple types (integer, string, hexBinary, etc.). The XBinder code generation tool assembles a series of calls to these functions to accomplish the encoding or decoding of more complex message types.
