[Simple-support] Information about Simple Framework and Tools

[Eduardo M. <emm...@gm...>]

Hi, I'm currently evaluating the replacement of JAXB with Simple, and
need some information, which I couldn't find in the website:

1) Is there a tool similar to xjc, which takes xsd as input and
produces the pojos?

2) Is Simple able to mix different set of pojos, bound to different
namespaces? For instance consider a schema which has an element that
can be extended with another qualified element, such as

<xs:any namespace="##other" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0"
         maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

Now we throw some xml to Simple for deserialization, and in that "any"
position comes an element bound to another set of Simple pojos, with
different namespace(s), will the framework deserialize that element
too into its own pojos?

3) Regarding serialization, and this is the major reason why I'm
considering to leave JAXB, when there is a JAXBContext bound to
multiple namespaces, the serialized xml root element will be "bloated"
with all possible namespaces, even if there are no children elements
with these namespaces. How does Simple handles such cases, same
procedure as jaxb? Includes in root element only the uses namespaces?
Declares "children" namespaces in all children elements, thus
introducing multiplies declarations of same namespaces?

Thanks in advance.
