Editing XML data binding (section)

{{one source|date=June 2015}}
'''XML data binding''' refers to a means of representing information in an [[XML]] document as a [[business object]] in computer memory. This allows [[Application software|applications]] to access the data in the XML from the object, rather than using the [[Document Object Model|DOM]] or [[Simple API for XML|SAX]] to retrieve the data from a direct representation of the XML itself.

It makes it possible to read and write [[XML]] data using a programming language class library (e.g. [[C++]], [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]], [[Java (programming language)|Java]]), specifically created for a given XML data format.<ref>[https://www.liquid-technologies.com/xml-data-binder/what-is-xml-data-binding-part-1 "What is XML Data Binding - Tutorial"] Liquid Technologies. Retrieved 2024-07-24.</ref> Whilst it is possible to manually write a computer program to achieve this, '''XML data binding''' tools generate the source code to perform these tasks.
