package com.ram.core;

import java.io.File;

import javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext;
import javax.xml.bind.Unmarshaller;

public class UnmarshallExample {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  try{
   JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(Person.class);
   Unmarshaller unmarshall = jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller();
   
   File f = new File("C:\\Person.xml");
            Person person = (Person) unmarshall.unmarshal(f);
 
            System.out.println("Name = "+person.getName());
            System.out.println("Id = "+person.getId());
            System.out.println("Age = "+person.getAge());
            System.out.println("Address = "+person.getAddress());
   
   
  }catch(Exception e){
   System.out.println("Exception occurred while unmarshalling ..."+e);
  }
 }

}

 

Below is the output file that gets generated when the above program is executed
Name = Ram
Id = 1
Age = 31
Address = Richmond
