title: Is there an alternative to use marshalling/unmarshalling?
body: <p>I have been working on a small app, where I need to respond with XML messages like</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;response&gt;
  &lt;message&gt;blah&lt;/message&gt;
  &lt;/response&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I find marshalling very confusing, is there a better way or alternative to this approach?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: My question was to gain a little insight into what is better? Using marshaling/unmarshaling or some easier alternatives to that approach.</p>
