XSD MiscellaneousData Types

Other miscellaneous data types include boolean, base64Binary, hexBinary, float, double, anyURI, anyURI, and NOTATION.

Boolean Data Type

Boolean data type is used to specify true or false values.

Below is an example of a logical declaration in a schema:

An element in the document should look like this:

Note:Legal boolean values are true, false, 1 (which indicates true) and 0 (which indicates false).

Binary Data Types

Binary data types are used to express data in binary form.

We can use two binary data types:

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

Below is an example of a hexBinary declaration in a schema:

AnyURI Data Type

The anyURI data type is used to specify a URI.

Below is an example of an anyURI declaration in a schema:

An element in the document should look like this:

Note:If a URI contains spaces, replace them with %20.

Miscellaneous Data Types

Restriction on Miscellaneous Data Types

Restrictions that can be used with miscellaneous data types:

• enumeration (the boolean data type cannot use this constraint*)
• length (the boolean data type cannot use this constraint)
• maxLength (the boolean data type cannot use this constraint)
• minLength (the boolean data type cannot use this constraint)
• pattern
• whiteSpace

*Translator's note:The term 'constraint' refers to constraint.
