XSD Miscellaneous Data Types

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

Boolean Data Type

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

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

The element in the document should look like this:

Note: Valid boolean values are true, false, 1 (indicating true), and 0 (indicating false).

Binary Data Types

Binary data types are used to represent binary data.

We can use two types of binary data:

• base64Binary (Base64 encoded binary data)

• hexBinary (Hexadecimal encoded binary data)

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:

The element in the document should look like this:

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

Restriction on Miscellaneous Data Types

Restrictions that can be used with miscellaneous data types:

• enumeration (cannot be used with boolean data types)

• length (cannot be used with boolean data types)

• maxLength (cannot be used with boolean data types)

• minLength (cannot be used with boolean data types)
