Just found out http://simple.sourceforge.net/ as a XML/Object framework, it is quite similar to the inhouse custom library built by my CTO. Writing this as a reference to me just in case I need it in the future.

In traditional chinese windows, the default code page is ms950, while it is windows-1252 for my local English windows setup.
