Subject: Recommended way to create an object from XML (or other) file?

Hello list,

I need to be able to edit small files representing simple objects.  
The values can be considered as strings.
Obviously, I managed using an XML to read it with the XML parser. I  
was wondering if there was a more direct way to unmarshall an object  
from XML or some kind of property list file? DBM seems opaque (not  
editable by hand). CSV lacks the key-value type of information. XML  
using the parser is too general.

Thanks,
