JAXBSerialiser (stdlib 9.5.4.3 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.peterphi.std.util.jaxb.JAXBSerialiser

```
public class JAXBSerialiser
extends Object
```
A thread-safe, caching JAXB helper type. This wraps a JAXBContext and its Marshallers and Unmarshallers, allowing their concurrent use
This helper also translates the exceptions that can be thrown during a JAXB serialise/deserialise operation in a JAXBRuntimeException
