The goal of this component is to allow the parsing/binding of non-structured data (or to be more precise non-XML data)
to/from Java Beans that have binding mappings defined with annotations. Using Bindy, you can bind data from sources such as :

• CSV records,
• Fixed-length records,
• FIX messages,
• or almost any other non-structured data

to one or many Plain Old Java Object (POJO). Bindy converts the data according to the type of the java property. POJOs can be linked together with one-to-many relationships available in some cases. Moreover, for data type like Date, Double, Float, Integer, Short, Long and BigDecimal, you can provide the pattern to apply during the formatting of the property.

...

The annotations created allow to map different concept of your model to the POJO like :

• Type of record (csv, key value pair (e.g. FIX message), fixed length ...),
• Link (to link object in another object),
• DataField and their properties (int, type, ...),
• KeyValuePairField (for key = value format like we have in FIX financial messages),
• Section (to identify header, body and footer section),
• OneToMany

This section will describe them :

...

The relation OneToMany ONLY WORKS in the following cases :

• Reading a FIX message containing repetitive groups (= group of tags/keys)
• Generating a CSV with repetitive data
