Another thought is to use JSON, which is relatively generic.  There are new 
built-ins in 4.1 to serialize to JSON and parse from JSON -- xdmp:to-json and 
xdmp:from-json.  I'm not sure how much support there is to go from JSON to 
other languages, but it is a pretty generic format so it seems doable.

XStream (http://xstream.codehaus.org) is a nice xml <-> java object 
converter, if you're working on the java side.

Seems as though their website is down right this second, though...
