Jakarta XML Binding 4.0 (under development)

The Jakarta XML Binding provides an API and tools that automate the mapping between XML documents and Java objects.

The goal of this release is to:

provide features requested by the community
implement requirements by other specification included in Jakarta EE 10
drop explicit dependency on JavaBeans (Has transitive relationship to any dependent specifications; major API change)
editorial updates, clarifications and removal of JAXB 1 from the specification (May have transitive relationship to any dependent specifications; major API change)

The JDK version required will be aligned with Jakarta EE 10.
