Overview
XINS is an open-source Web Services framework supporting HTTP protocols such as REST, SOAP, XML-RPC, JSON, JSON-RPC and more.
From the specifications written in simple XML, XINS generates the Client API (.jar), the Java server code template (.war), the WSDL and the documentation of the specification in HTML (with the test forms) or in OpenDocument format.
For more information read the user guide and have a look at the demonstration page or at the features page.
