DataTypes

Property dataTypes can be set to any values according to the following table.

Columns of the table determine the validity of the type depending on the schema version and the required xs:base type for any xs:restriction constraint.

XML base types

The list of valid XML base types for the base attribute of xs:restriction, and the associated regex expression to check for the validity of string representation is as follows:

Base type	string regex constraint
xs:boolean	^(true|false|0|1)$
xs:date	^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}(Z|([+-]\d{2}:\d{2}))?$
xs:dateTime	^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}(.\d+)?(Z|([+-]\d{2}:\d{2}))?$
xs:double	^([-+]?[0-9].?[0-9]([eE][-+]?[0-9]+)?|NaN|+INF|-INF)$
xs:duration	^[-+]?P(\d+Y)?(\d+M)?(\d+D)?(T(\d+H)?(\d+M)?(\d+S)?)?$
xs:integer	^[+-]?(\d+)$
xs:string	^.?$
xs:time	^\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}(.\d+)?(Z|([+-]\d{2}:\d{2}))?$

For example:

• To specify numbers: you must use a dot as the decimal separator, and not use a thousands separator (e.g. 4.2 is valid, but 1.234,5 is invalid). Scientific notation is allowed (e.g. 1e3 to represent 1000).
• To specify boolean: valid values are true or false, 0, or 1.
