Jsonix - JAXB for JavaScript

Folowing up on the ideas from my previous posts, I've started the project called Jsonix (JSON interfaces for XML):

http://confluence.highsource.org/display/MISC/Jsonix

Jsonix is basically a JAXB analog for JavaScript. With Jsonix you can:

• parse XML into JSON;
• serialize JSON into XML;
• define XML/JSON mappings declaratively;
• generate Jsonix mappings from XML Schemas.
  

Here's a small example of how a JSON purchase order could be marshalled in XML:

var context = Jsonix.Context.newInstance([ PO ]);
// Marshal JSON as XML (DOM node)
var unmarshaller = context.createUnmarshaller();

var node = marshaller.marshal({
name: {localPart: "purchaseOrder"},
value: {
 shipTo: {
  name: "Alice Smith",
  street: "123 Maple Street",
  city: "Mill Valley",
  state: "CA",
  zip: 90952  
 }
}
});

This will produce an XML like:

<purchaseOrder orderDate="1999-10-20">
<shipTo country="US">
  <name>Alice Smith</name>
  <street>123 Maple Street</street>
  <city>Mill Valley</city>
  <state>CA</state>
  <zip>90952</zip>
</shipTo>
<!-- ... -->
</purchaseOrder>

And here's how you'd unmarshal:

// Unmarshal JSON from XML (retrieved from an URL)
var unmarshaller = context.createUnmarshaller();
unmarshaller.unmarshal({
url : "po.xml",
success : function(po) {
 assertEquals("purchaseOrder", po.name.localPart);
 assertEquals("Alice Smith", po.value.shipTo.name);
}
});

The project is in development, I'll be working on it next weeks.
