[MEI-L] JAXB vs MEI - generating Java classes from MEI XSD schemas

[Andrew Hankinson]

Is there a reason you're not just using a raw XML library for this? The only advantage a Java library would give you, as far as I know, is type-safe access to the MEI elements. 

If you want to chat about this directly, I'm on the MEI slack channel today.
