String data types are used for values that contains character strings
The string data type can contain characters, line feeds, carriage returns, and tab characters.
The following is an example of a string declaration in a schema:
<xs:element name="customer" type="xs:string"/>
An element in your document might look like this:
<customer>John Smith</customer>
Or it might look like this:
<customer> John Smith </customer>
The normalizedString data type is derived from the String data type.
The normalizedString data type also contains characters, but the XML processor will remove line feeds, carriage returns, and tab characters.
The following is an example of a normalizedString declaration in a schema:
<xs:element name="customer" type="xs:normalizedString"/>
An element in your document might look like this:
<customer>John Smith</customer>
Or it might look like this:
<customer> John Smith </customer>
The token data type is also derived from the String data type.
The token data type also contains characters, but the XML processor will remove line feeds, carriage returns, tabs, leading and trailing spaces, and multiple spaces.
The following is an example of a token declaration in a schema:
<xs:element name="customer" type="xs:token"/>
An element in your document might look like this:
<customer>John Smith</customer>
Or it might look like this:
<customer> John Smith </customer>
