XML/Java Type Mappings.
The javax.xml.datatype API provides XML/Java type mappings.
The following XML standards apply:
| W3C XML Schema Data Type | Java Data Type |
|---|---|
| xs:date | XMLGregorianCalendar |
| xs:dateTime | XMLGregorianCalendar |
| xs:duration | Duration |
| xs:gDay | XMLGregorianCalendar |
| xs:gMonth | XMLGregorianCalendar |
| xs:gMonthDay | XMLGregorianCalendar |
| xs:gYear | XMLGregorianCalendar |
| xs:gYearMonth | XMLGregorianCalendar |
| xs:time | XMLGregorianCalendar |
| XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model | Java Data Type |
|---|---|
| xdt:dayTimeDuration | Duration |
| xdt:yearMonthDuration | Duration |
W3C XML Schema data types that have a "natural" mapping to Java types are defined by JSR 31: Java™ Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) Specification, Binding XML Schema to Java Representations. JAXB defined mappings for XML Schema built-in data types include:
