+- Modabi is not in the same class of performance as, for example, JiBX.
+- If you are already using something like DTDs or W3C XML Schema, you may see the validation capabilities provided by the binding rules specified in the [Schema Definition Format] as a duplication of work, since the two things must be kept in sync.
+- Though we strive to make sure simple use-cases can be expressed in simple terms, having what we feel to be such a flexible system can present a significant learning curve in some cases compared with more well known solutions.

...Which is itself defined and bound by a provided [Meta-Schema], such that schemata can be authored in any supported format.
Clean and easy to use [API] for binding and unbinding data.
Binding to interface rather than implementation, perfect for [Dependency Injection] environments.
An impressive level of [Type Safety], to catch problems with schema definitions during compilation.
Support for complex binding rules with the schema definition format, including e.g. binding to the [Builder Pattern], to make it as easy as possible to work with existing APIs without modification.
