In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method may include receiving a description of a web service. A serialization framework may be used to convert the received description to the object model associated with the web service by using a layering of the deserialization process (library and metamodel layers) as well as integrating various registry mechanisms such as QName registry for inter-namespace inter-document declarations, namespace serializer registry, and entity container in the serialization framework. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.
