Configuration languages based on XML and source code annotations are very popular in the industry. There are situations in which there are reasons to move configuration languages from one format to the other, or to support multiple configuration languages. In such cases mappings between languages based on these formats have to be defined. Mapping can be used to support multiple configuration languages or to seamlessly move configurations from annotations to XML or vice versa. In this paper, we present XML to annotations mapping patterns that can be used to map languages from one format to the other.
