In need to save XML representation of your Java object? Here is a simple 200-line class that will do this using reflection. But don't worry, there is some very powerful caching going on, so that the performance will be very good.
Thanks to
comments for pointing out the
isAssignableFrom() function in
Class. Also, now the resulting XML is valid with all the special characters (&, <, >, ' and ").
