A Dynamic Model for Mapping XML Element in a Object-Oriented Fashion

XML is becoming a wide used standard both for data management and application interoperability in web services. This fact promotes further analyses and the development of new methods for creating, modifying and retrieving all the information that is encoded in a XML fashion. This paper presents a XML data binding technique that aims to unify, in a single solution, the benefits from design-time and run-time data binding. In order to reach this goal, we introduce an abstract representation for XML elements. This representation shows to be very effective and makes easy a simple data binding with XML documents. The effectiveness of the model has been analyzed by developing a library for XML management, in the Python language.
