INFO: Data Types Supported by the MSXML Parser (289842)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
  • Microsoft XML 2.6
This article was previously published under Q289842

SUMMARY

This article lists the data types used in the Web Storage System that are supported by the Microsoft XML parser.

Note that the Microsoft XML parser does not support multivalued string data types (mv:string). The Web Storage System can return XML data containing values of type mv:string, but the Microsoft XML parser cannot be used to interpret this data.

XML Data Types

bin.base64MIME-style Base64 encoded binary BLOB.
bin.hexHexadecimal digits representing octets.
boolean0 or 1, where 0 == "false" and 1 =="true".
charString, one character long.
dateDate in a subset ISO 8601 format, without the time data. For example: "1994-11-05".
dateTimeDate in a subset of ISO 8601 format, with optional time and no optional zone. Fractional seconds can be as precise as nanoseconds. For example: "1988-04-07T18:39:09".
dateTime.tzDate in a subset ISO 8601 format, with optional time and optional zone. Fractional seconds can be as precise as nanoseconds. For example: "1988-04-07T18:39:09-08:00".
fixed.14.4Same as "number" but no more than 14 digits to the left of the decimal point, and no more than 4 to the right.
floatReal number, with no limit on digits; can potentially have a leading sign, fractional digits, and optionally an exponent. Punctuation as in U.S. English. Values range from 1.7976931348623157E+308 to 2.2250738585072014E-308.
intNumber, with optional sign, no fractions, and no exponent.
numberNumber, with no limit on digits; can potentially have a leading sign, fractional digits, and optionally an exponent. Punctuation as in U.S. English. (Values have same range as most significant number, R8, 1.7976931348623157E+308 to 2.2250738585072014E-308.)
timeTime in a subset ISO 8601 format, with no date and no time zone. For example: "08:15:27".
time.tzTime in a subset ISO 8601 format, with no date but optional time zone. For example: "08:1527-05:00".
i1Integer represented in one byte. A number, with optional sign, no fractions, no exponent. For example: "1, 127, -128".
i2Integer represented in one word. A number, with optional sign, no fractions, no exponent. For example: "1, 703, -32768".
i4Integer represented in four bytes. A number, with optional sign, no fractions, no exponent. For example: "1, 703, -32768, 148343, -1000000000".
i8Integer represented in eight bytes. A number with optional sign, no fractions, no exponent, and 19-digit precision. Range is from -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807.
r4Real number, with seven digit precision; can potentially have a leading sign, fractional digits, and optionally an exponent. Punctuation as in U.S. English. Values range from 3.40282347E+38F to 1.17549435E-38F.
r8Real number, with 15 digit precision; can potentially have a leading sign, fractional digits, and optionally an exponent. Punctuation as in U.S. English. Values range from 1.7976931348623157E+308 to 2.2250738585072014E-308.
ui1Unsigned integer. A number, unsigned, no fractions, no exponent. For example: "1, 255".
ui2Unsigned integer, two bytes. A number, unsigned, no fractions, no exponent. For example: "1, 255, 65535".
ui4Unsigned integer, four bytes. A number, unsigned, no fractions, no exponent. For example: "1, 703, 3000000000".
ui8Unsigned integer, eight bytes. A number, unsigned, no fractions, no exponent. Range is 0 to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615.
uriUniversal Resource Identifier (URI). For example: "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:Office9".
uuidHexadecimal digits representing octets, optional embedded hyphens that are ignored. For example: "333C7BC4-460F-11D0-BC04-0080C7055A83".
