20 <title>Jalview Archives</title>
24 <p><strong>Jalview Project Archives</strong>
27 <p>These are java archives of an XML file containing alignments, trees and Jalview
28 display information. A data exchange standard is currently being developed,
29 so there is no stable schema yet, but Jalview web services will soon make use
30 of the same interchange format.</p>
31 <p>For those who want to know...<br>
32 Jalview uses java classes automatically created using <a href="http://www.castor.org">Castor</a>.
33 Jalview 2.08 uses descriptor classes which significantly increase the speed
34 of marshalling / unmarshalling java objects into XML. Files created prior to
35 Jalview 2.08 can still be read in, but they will be saved in the new format.
