<p>Binding definitions are the core of working with JiBX. In order to usefully
apply JiBX to your applications you need to understand what can and can't be done
in a binding definition. This tutorial is designed to give an overview of doing
various types of binding operations in JiBX to help you get up to speed as
quickly as possible. For full information on working with binding files, see the
<a href="../details/binding-overview.html">Binding Definition</a> reference section of the documentation.</p>
<p>You can go through the tutorial in sequence using the forward links at the
bottom of each page, use the menu to the left to browse by individual page, or
