Abstract

Various embodiments of systems and methods for reusable and late addition enabled XML data binding are described herein. A computer receives an element class that is created for a non-atomic class. The element class comprises a first constructor, a decomposer that returns data extracted from an object for an entity to aid in serialization, and a composer that extracts value of the entity and creates a new instance of the non-atomic class using the extracted value to aid in de-serialization. The object is of type non-atomic class. The computer also receives an attribute class that is created for an atomic class to which the non-atomic class refers to. The attribute class comprises a second constructor, a serializer, and a de-serializer. The computer then generates an XML document using the element class and the attribute class.
