XML/Java Type Mappings.

javax.xml.datatypeAPI provides XML/Java type mappings.

The following XML standards apply:

W3C XML Schema Data Type	Java Data Type
xs:date	{@link javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar}
xs:dateTime	{@link javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar}
xs:duration	{@link javax.xml.datatype.Duration}
xs:gDay	{@link javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar}
xs:gMonth	{@link javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar}
xs:gMonthDay	{@link javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar}
xs:gYear	{@link javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar}
xs:gYearMonth	{@link javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar}
xs:time	{@link javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar}

XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model	Java Data Type
xdt:dayTimeDuration	{@link javax.xml.datatype.Duration}
xdt:yearMonthDuration	{@link javax.xml.datatype.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:

xs:anySimpleType
xs:base64Binary
xs:boolean
xs:byte
xs:decimal
xs:double
xs:float
xs:hexBinary
xs:int
xs:integer
xs:long
xs:QName
xs:short
xs:string
xs:unsignedByte
xs:unsignedInt
xs:unsignedShort
