- [Instructor] XML Marshalling. XML marshalling involves converting Java objects into XML data. In Spring MVC, you can leverage tools like Jackson, JAXB, and Spring OXM for seamless XML serialization and deserialization. In this lesson, we'll learn about XML marshalling using Spring MVC. There are three main components for XML marshalling in Spring MVC. Starting with Jackson XML module. Jackson provides a powerful XML extension called jackson-dataformat-xml that integrates seamlessly with Spring MVC to handle XML serialization. It works out of the box with ResponseBody and RequestBody for RESTful endpoints, which we should all be familiar with from early examples in this course. Next is JAXB, or Java architecture for XML binding. You can annotate Java classes using JAXB annotations like XmlRootElement to control XML structure and it works well for both marshalling and unmarshalling. Next is Spring OXM, which stands for object and XML mapping. This is a higher level abstraction for XML…
