XML serialization library interoperability between Java and Python
Since Java and Python objects are so different in themselves, it's almost impossible to do this, unless you on both sides restrict the types allowed and such things.
And in that case, I'd recommend you use JSON, which is a nice interoperability format, even though it's not XML.
Otherwise you could easily write a library that takes XStream XML and loads it into Python objects, but it will always be limited to whatever is similar between Java and Python.
I have been searching for an xml serialization library that can serialize and deserialize an (Java/Python) object into xml and back. I am using XStream right now for Java. If XStream had a python version to deserialize from xml generated by Xstream that would have done it for me. Thrift or such other libraries is not going to work unless they allow the data format to be xml. I am looking for suggestion for any library that can do it. - Thanks
