Support for Various Databindings between XML and Java
CXF provides support for multiple data bindings, including JAXB, XML Beans, and Aegis Databinding (2.0.x), is our own databinding library that makes development of code-first web services incredibly easy. Unlike JAXB, you don't need annotations at all. It also works correctly with a variety of datatypes such as Lists, Maps, Dates, etc. right out of the box. If you're building a prototype web services that's really invaluable as it means you have to do very little work to get up and running.
