Java marshaller performance

I've used JAXB Marshaller as well as my own marshaller for marshalling pure java bean objects into XML. It has been observed that both of them require almost same time to marshal. The performance is not acceptable and needs to be improved. What are possible ways where we can improve performance of marshaller? Like threading?

Solution

  • Seconding the Use of JibX. Like questzen, I found that JibX was 9 times faster than JAXB in my performance tests.

    Also, make sure you have woodstox on the classpath when using JibX. I found woodstox's Stax Implementation is roughly 1050% faster than the Java6 implementation of Stax.
