Master Java Web Services and REST API with Spring Boot- Step 07 - Introduction to Java API for XML Binding (JAXB) and Co

The video tutorial explains how to use JAXB to map Java objects to XML and vice versa, using an XSD schema. It covers setting up the JAXB Maven plugin, configuring it to generate Java classes from XSD files, and ensuring the generated classes match the desired structure. The tutorial also addresses potential issues with the plugin configuration and demonstrates how to resolve them.
