package com.ram.core;

import java.io.File;

import javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext;
import javax.xml.bind.Marshaller;

public class MarshallExample {
 public static void main(String[] args){
  try{
   Person person = new Person();
   person.setName("Ram");
   person.setId(1);
   person.setAge(31);
   person.setAddress("Richmond");
   
   JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(Person.class);
   Marshaller jaxbMarshaller =  jaxbContext.createMarshaller();
   
   jaxbMarshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, true);
   
   File file = new File("C:\\Person.xml");
   jaxbMarshaller.marshal(person, file);
   jaxbMarshaller.marshal(person, System.out);
   
  }catch(Exception e){
   System.out.println("Exception while marshalling ..."+e);
  }
 }
}
 
 

Below is the output file that gets generated when the above program is executed

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<person>
    <address>Richmond</address>
    <age>31</age>
    <id>1</id>
    <name>Ram</name>
</person>
