Customizing XML serialization
The following attributes are used to change the default serialization of BDL into XML, and vice versa. Some attributes cannot have values, some may have values, and some attributes have mandatory values.
The following attributes cannot have values:
Attribute | Definition |
---|---|
XMLOptional | Define whether the variable can be missing. |
XMLNillable | Define an XML element to be explicitly null and serialized with the
xsi:nil="true" value. |
XMLElement | Map a BDL simple data type to an XML Element. |
XMLElementNillable | Define the default for all element members in a RECORD (defined
by TYPE or DEFINE ) to be serialized as
xsi:nil="true" if NULL. |
XMLAttribute | Map a BDL simple data type to an XML Attribute. |
XMLBase | Set the base type of an XML Schema simpleContent. |
XMLAll | Map a BDL Record to an XML Schema all structure. |
XMLChoice | Map a BDL Record to an XML Schema choice structure. |
XMLSequence | Map a BDL Record to an XML Schema sequence structure. |
XMLSimpleContent | Map a BDL Record to an XML Schema simpleContent structure. |
XSComplexType | Map a BDL Record type definition to an XML Schema complexType. |
XMLList | Map a one-dimensional array to an XML Schema list. |
XMLSelector | Define which member of an XMLChoice record is selected. |
XMLAny | Map a xml.DomDocument object to a wildcard XML element
node. |
XMLAnyAttribute | Map a BDL one-dimensional dynamic array of a record with 3 strings to XML wildcard attributes. |
Values are mandatory for the following attributes: (for
example,
XMLName="myname"
)Attribute | Definition |
---|---|
XMLName | Define the XML Name of a variable in an XML document. |
XMLNamespace | Define the XML Namespace of a variable in an XML document. |
XMLType | Force the XML type name of a variable. |
XMLTypenamespace | Force the XML type namespace of a variable. |
XSTypename | Define the XML Type Name of a BDL type definition. |
XSTypenamespace | Define the XML Type Namespace of a BDL type definition. |
XMLElementNamespace | Define the default XML namespace of all children defined as XMLElement in a Record. |
XMLAttributeNamespace | Define the default XML namespace of all children defined as XMLAttribute in a Record. |
Values may be required for the following attributes: (for example,
XMLOptimizedContent="image/*"
)
