Hello Matt Thank you for your input.
In my case my input is an Open API (Rest API) specification. It seems they don’t serve as input to the tool you mentioned. Regards, Arne -- Von: Matt Pavlovich <[email protected]> Datum: Montag, 13. Oktober 2025 um 16:34 An: [email protected] <[email protected]> Betreff: [[email protected]] Re: Rest with Binding xml or auto always depends on JAXB through RestBindingAdviceFactory PluginHelper.getRestBindingJaxbDataFormatFactory Hi Arne- I’ve worked in the model generation space a long time and found that the jaxb tools have the most comprehensive set of capabilities (I haven’t checked in on json-generation in a while though). With jaxb-tools, you can generate model classes from xsd schema(s), have code modules that extend models from other projects without duplicate generation, and annotate with the Jackson JSON bindings — so the single model class can be rendered XML or JSON. Additionally, it was recently added to allow jaxb generation to _not_ generate the XML annotations, so the tools can be used to generate modular models that are Java-only or JSON-only. jaxb-tools project: https://github.com/highsource/jaxb-tools Annotation plugin (to add Jackson JSON bindings) https://github.com/highsource/jaxb-tools?tab=readme-ov-file#jaxb-annotate-plugin Hope this helps!
