Reading something that was XMLSerialized by C# with JAXB

[glitch003]

I'm trying to read some data that was created by a C# program. The C# program uses an XMLSerializer to serialize the xml data. I want to read this data (and therefore unserialize it) using Java.

From some research it appears that JAXB is Java's implementation of XMLSerialization. So what format does the XMLSerializer in JAXB use? Is it a "standard" format meaning it's likely the same as the C# XMLSerializer?

Thank you

What do you mean by "what format does the XMLSerializer in JAXB use"? Have you gone through any of the short, or the official long tutorial on JAXB? Its requirements are all well spelled out there.

I meant that when something is XML serialized, is it in a standard format? Meaning is the schema of the resulting XML a standard across programming languages. I found my answer in this document: Easy XML Serialization of C# and Java Objects

From the above link: "We have not found any out of the box XML serializer to interoperate between different programming languages. In this section we present a series of frameworks and libraries to serialize objects to XML. All of the libraries explored (except one of them) are not able to generate a standard XML object representation to interoperate between different programming languages."
