Table 1 contains a list of the available types for node or attribute values:
Table 1 — XML Generic Value Types
| Value Type Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Integer | A signed or unsigned integer value represented in base 10. Uses a dash ‘-’ (U+002D) as a prefix to denote negative numbers. E.g. 15 or -6 |
| Float | A floating point numeric value represented in #attrType-Bool base 10 decimal or scientific format. Uses full stop ‘.’ (U+002E) to delimit the whole and decimal part and ’e’ or ‘E’ to delimit mantissa and exponent. Implementations shall write sufficient decimal places to precisely round-trip their internal level of precision. Infinities and not-a-number (NaN) are not permitted. Eg 1.5, 3.9265e+2 |
| Bool | A boolean value. When representing true inidcate with true, when false indicate with false. |
| String | Any sequence of Unicode codepoints, encoded as necessary for XML. Eg The following XML encodings (with their meaning in brackets): < (<), & (&), > (>), " ("), and ' (’) |
| Enum | Possible values are predefined |
| UUID | A UUID to RFC4122 in text representation. The nil UUID (all zeros) is not permitted. Formatted as XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX.Used to link objects. |
| Vector | Three Float values separated by ‘,’ defining a 3D vector’s X, Y, and Z components. Eg 1.0,2.0,3.0 |
| FileName | The case-sensitive name of a file within the archive including the extension. The filename must not contain any FAT32 or NTFS reserved characters. The extension is delimited from the base name by full stop ‘.’ and the base name shall not be empty. It is recommended to limit filenames to the POSIX “Fully Portable Filenames” character set: [A-Z], [a-z], [0-9], the symbols ‘_’ (U+005F), ‘-’ (U+002D) and a maximum of one ‘.’ (U+002E) Eg My-Fixture_5.gdtf |
| CIE Color | CIE 1931 xyY absolute color point. Formatted as three Floats x,y,YEg 0.314303,0.328065,87.699166 |
| IPv4 Address | Common IPv4 Address in the format of dotted decimal notation. Eg 192.168.1.10 |
| IPv6 Address | Common IPv6 Address in the format of hexadecimal notation. Eg 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7344 |
