/**
* Enable synchronization between XML infoset nodes and JAXB objects
* representing same XML document.
*
*
* An instance of this class maintains the association between XML nodes of
* an infoset preserving view and a JAXB representation of an XML document.
* Navigation between the two views is provided by the methods
* {@link #getXMLNode(Object)} and {@link #getJAXBNode(Object)}.
*
*
* Modifications can be made to either the infoset preserving view or the
* JAXB representation of the document while the other view remains
* unmodified. The binder is able to synchronize the changes made in the
* modified view back into the other view using the appropriate
* Binder update methods, {@link #updateXML(Object, Object)} or
* {@link #updateJAXB(Object)}.
*
*
* A typical usage scenario is the following:
*
* - load XML document into an XML infoset representation
* - {@link #unmarshal(Object)} XML infoset view to JAXB view.
* (Note to conserve resources, it is possible to only unmarshal a
* subtree of the XML infoset view to the JAXB view.)
* - application access/updates JAXB view of XML document.
* - {@link #updateXML(Object)} synchronizes modifications to JAXB view
* back into the XML infoset view. Update operation preserves as
* much of original XML infoset as possible (i.e. comments, PI, ...)
*
*
*
* A Binder instance is created using the factory method
* {@link JAXBContext#createBinder()} or {@link JAXBContext#createBinder(Class)}.
*
*
* The template parameter, XmlNode
, is the
* root interface/class for the XML infoset preserving representation.
* A Binder implementation is required to minimally support
* an XmlNode
value of org.w3c.dom.Node.class
.
* A Binder implementation can support alternative XML infoset
* preserving representations.
