XMLBeans is a Java-to-XML binding framework which is part of the Apache Software Foundation XML project.

The cursor can be moved around the XML instance at any level of granularity needed from individual characters to Tokens.
XMLBeans started on the grounds of XMLMaps, an XML binding tool included in previous BEA WebLogic products.
At that time it was not decided which organization BEA wanted to involve in the standardization effort.
The original team included Cezar Cristian Andrei and Eric Vasilik, later the team added Cliff Schmidt and Radu Preotiuc-Pietro, Jacob Danner, Kevin Krouse and Wing Yew Poon.
