Primitive Data Types
The following table lists primitive data types that can
be used when creating a variable:
Primitive Data Type | Description |
---|---|
base64binary | Base64-encoded arbitrary binary data The ·value space· of base64Binary is the set of finite-length sequences of binary octets. For base64Binary data the entire binary stream is encoded using the Base64 Alphabet in [RFC 2045]. |
anyType | A concrete ur-Type, which can serve either as a complex type (non-scalar data, means elements), or as a simple type (scalar data) depending on the context. |
dateTime | Specific instant of time. ISO 8601 extended format CCYY-MMDDThh:mm:ss |
QName/qname | XML qualified names. |
int | int is derived from long by setting the value of ·maxInclusive· to be 2147483647 and ·minInclusive· to be -2147483648 |
string | The string datatype represents character strings in XML |
boolean | This data type has two possible values: true or false. It is typically used to track true or false conditions. |
decimal | A subset of the real numbers, which can be represented by decimal numerals |
