XML Schema Miscellaneous Datatypes

Other miscellaneous data types are boolean, base64Binary, hexBinary, float, double, anyURI, QName, and NOTATION

Boolean Data Type

The boolean data type is used to specify a true or false value.

The following is an example of a boolean declaration in a schema:

<xs:attribute name="disabled" type="xs:boolean"/>

An element in your document might look like this:

<price disabled="true">999</price>
Note: Legal values for boolean are true, false, 1 (which indicates true), and 0 (which indicates false).

Binary Data Types

Binary data types are used to express binary-formatted data.

We have two binary data types:

  • base64Binary (Base64-encoded binary data)
  • hexBinary (hexadecimal-encoded binary data)

    • The following is an example of a hexBinary declaration in a schema:

    <xs:element name="blobsrc" type="xs:hexBinary"/>

    AnyURI Data Type

    The anyURI data type is used to specify a URI.

    The following is an example of an anyURI declaration in a schema:

    <xs:attribute name="src" type="xs:anyURI"/>

    An element in your document might look like this:

    <pic src="/images/smiley.gif" />
    Note: If a URI has spaces, replace them with %20.
