title: Making an address book application using JAVA
body: <p>I am a Java beginner and am going to make a small address book client program using java swing.</p>
  
  <p>And my goal is implementing 3-tier architecture. (No sql queries are in client program)</p>
  
  <p>What would be the best approach for this?</p>
  
  <p>I thought (Java EE)--(XML or JSON)--(MySQL) would be the one, but isn't it too hard for beginner? :)</p>
  
  <p>What else could be?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for reading my question!</p>
