Codehaus XFire is a Java framework for development and consumption of web services. Unlike similar products, such as Apache Axis 1.x, XFire uses StAX for XML processing, resulting in better performance.^{[citation needed]} Apache Axis2 also uses StAX. Codehaus XFire is a java SOAP framework.

It provides support for:

All Web Service Standards - SOAP, WSDL, WS-I Basic Profile, WS-Addressing, WS-Security, etc.
Bindings POJOs, XMLBeans, JAXB 1.1, JAXB 2.0, and Castor support
Transports - HTTP, JMS, XMPP, In-JVM, etc.
Frameworks like Spring, Pico, Plexus, and Loom support.
Client and server stub generation

XFire is no longer in development and has been superseded by Apache CXF and the enterprise version, FUSE Services Framework.
