XML data binding for Java is a powerful alternative to XML document models for applications concerned mainly with the data content of documents.

Other major advantages of using XML are:

• XML supports multilingual documents and Unicode, which is important for internationalisation of applications.
• XML is W3C standard and is endorsed by software industry market leaders.
• Context information is easy to evaluate with XML as compared to HTML or plain text as the tags, attributes, and element structure provide context information that can be used to interpret the meaning of content that opens up new possibilities for highly efficient search engines, intelligent data mining agents and many other mediums.
• XML documents are self-descriptive.
• Any XML tag can possess an unlimited number of attributes such as author or version.
• The XML tags can be created as needed.
• Data in XML documents can be stored without needing schemas set up by a Database Administrator as they contain meta-data in the form of tags and attributes.
• XML is especially suitable for working with unstructured data.
• Facilitates the comparison and aggregation of data because of its tree structure
• XML documents can embed any possible data type - from multimedia data (image, sound, video) to active components (Java applets, ActiveX).
• Mapping existing data structures like file systems or relational databases to XML is simple.
