JAXB is the best I ever used.

From XML:

QuestionEntity obj = null;
try {
    JAXBContext ctx = JAXBContext.newInstance(QuestionEntity.class);
    Unmarshaller unmarshaller = ctx.createUnmarshaller();
    obj = (QuestionEntity) unmarshaller.unmarshal(new StreamSource(new StringReader(xml)));
} catch (JAXBException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

To XML:

JAXBContext ctx = JAXBContext.newInstance(TestEntity.class);
Marshaller marshaller = ctx.createMarshaller();
marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, Boolean.TRUE);
StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
marshaller.marshal(this, stringWriter);
return stringWriter.toString();
