It is a java library, you can read the section on xml here:
- http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/library/xml/geometry.html
If I was doing it I would make an improvement to the geoserver importer
parse GML (and create a database table from the result).
Looking at the code it appears it is already done:
-
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/tree/master/src/extension/importer/core/src/main/java/org/geoserver/importer/format
So install the geoserver importer extension and let us know how it works.
If you are extra kind you could update the geoserver importer docs (so we
know it can handle gml):
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/extensions/importer/formats.html#extensions-importer-formats
