“We use an object binding framework,” he explained. “We use XSLT to
transform it in hardware. So when the XML comes in, all the validation,
all the business rules that are applied to it, all the transformations are

object, lo and behold. We don’t have compiled classes. We have no mapping. Nothing.”
