    FWIW, "sans" is the french translation of "without". Commented Nov 14, 2012 at 7:12

    @FlorianMargaine it is also a perfectly good English word with the same meaning. Commented Nov 14, 2012 at 9:17

'Sans' means 'without'. Think of typefaces like 'Sans-Serif'.

Without context, it's hard to speculate what 'UserSansXml' means.

    User without Xml, obviously :) Commented Nov 14, 2012 at 4:20
  • That helps. Reading the code, I figured out, User data comes from xml and later gets stored in db. UserSansXml class deals with the user objects found in xml and the methods in this class has public methods to access users without bothering xml tags. Commented Nov 14, 2012 at 4:34
