    - #### marshal

          public static <T> java.lang.String marshal​(Marshaller self,
                                                     T jaxbElement)
                                              throws JAXBException

      Marshall an object to a xml `String`.
      Parameters:
        `self` - a Marshaller which can marshall the type of the given object
        `jaxbElement` - object to marshall to a `String`
      Returns:
        `String` representing the object as xml
      Throws:
        `JAXBException`

    - #### marshal

          public static <T> java.lang.String marshal​(JAXBContext self,
                                                     T jaxbElement)
                                              throws JAXBException

      Marshall an object to a xml `String`.
      Parameters:
        `self` - a JaxbContext, which recognizes the type of the given object
        `jaxbElement` - object to marshall to a `String`
      Returns:
        String representing the object as xml
      Throws:
        `JAXBException`

    - #### unmarshal

          public static <T> T unmarshal​(Unmarshaller self,
                                        java.lang.String xml,
                                        java.lang.Class<T> declaredType)
                                 throws JAXBException

      Unmarshal xml data from the given `String` to object of the given type.
      Parameters:
        `self` - Unmarshaller, a Unmarshaller which can unmarshall the type of the given object
        `xml` - xml data as a `String`
        `declaredType` - appropriate JAXB mapped class to hold node's xml data
      Returns:
        instance of destination class unmarshalled from xml
      Throws:
        `JAXBException`

    - #### unmarshal
