JaxMeAPI: A clean room implementation of the JAXB API | ![]() |
JaxMeAPI is clean room implementation of the JAXB API. Unlike the reference implementation this one comes under a very moderate open source license, the Apache Software License. (As of this writing, the reference implementation is available only under quite restrictive terms. Sun has announced to make it available under an open source license, but so far they didn't and we anticipate that it will not be as moderate as the Apache Software License.)
In terms of Jar files, the JaxMeAPI is equivalent to the following Jar files from the reference implementation:
- jaxb-api.jar
- jax-qname.jar
- namespace.jar
JaxMeAPI was written as a part of the JaxMe 2 project. It is available as a separate module to be included in source distributions of JAXB client applications. Perhaps other JAXB provider implementations. might be interested too at some point.
