Doesn't the JAXB model make sense here: push the typing inference to a mapping process that has type awareness in the host language? Different host languages will have different type systems: you wouldn't want to build those into the interchange layer. JSON can do that because it is a *javascript* object notation. I don't think MicroXML should be a *Java* object notation. -Mike On 07/16/2012 12:46 PM, David Lee wrote: >> John Sayeth >> >> Well, in MicroLark you can implement an ElementFactory and pass it to the >> parser, and the parser will use the factory to create element objects >> (which must be instances of a subclass of Element).
