What is the difference between jaxb-core and jaxb-impl

Under what scenario i need to choose between jaxb-impl vs jaxb-core? having both jaxb-impl and jaxb-core in my project would cause any class loading conflicts?

If you go by the com.sun.xml.bind artifacts in Maven Central it seems jaxb-core is a underlying (shared) dependency of jaxb-impl, jaxb-xjc and jaxb-jxc); thus you would require jaxb-core to work with jaxb-impl.

    <artifactId>jaxb-impl</artifactId>
