I'm having difficulty understanding why we don't just write directly to
XML. Something to do with validity checking.
Not knowing the details, validity checking most likely has something to do
with XML Schema Definitions (XSD's) which are used to dictate relationship
structure and allowable field content (i.e. only allowing an int in an order
number field) among other things.
With that said, it is interesting that an XML alternative is being used
which will require less bandwidth (looks a little like JSON
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Json).
Did the Java guys say why you needed to go to this format vs. XML? Ask them
if it would be easier for them if you produced the same thing in XML
instead.
