Castor

• Castor is an Open Source framework for moving data from XML documents into Java objects and relational databases.
• This facilitates the serialization and deserialization of objects, so that they may be transported easily over any network.
• As well as XML to Java binding, Castor provides persistence in the form of object to RDBMS mapping.

A Javascript variant is available called JSCastor - http://www.logperspective.com/Castor.html
