Or equivalent object hierarchy... schema isn't
strictly necessary, fortunatley.
But object model has to exist and be (or made)
compatible. JibX is another fine candidate.

I don't know anything about GML specifically, but
point I tried to make is that the question was
specifically (even if mistakenly) asking about
xml/object mapping. Alternative to that may be using
VTD-XML with xpath ("instead of object mapping, why
not just directly exact data you need").
Just want to keep terminology accurate -- otherwise
users expectations may not be met (if they really have
object model as was implied).
