BiXsTypeConverter

This class contains static methods that converts XML Schema types to Javascript types as well as converting strings formatted according to the XML Schema to Javascript values.

The following type relations are used
XS type name - JS type name - JS class "negativeInteger" - "number" - Number "unsignedShort" - "number" - Number "unsignedByte" - "number" - Number "unsignedLong" - "number" - Number "unsignedInt" - "number" - Number "decimal" - "number" - Number "boolean" - "number" - Number "integer" - "number" - Number "double" - "number" - Number "float" - "number" - Number "short" - "number" - Number "byte" - "number" - Number "long" - "number" - Number "int" - "number" - Number "QName" - "string" - String "string" - "string" - String "normalizedString" - "string" - String "dateTime" - "date" - Date "date" - "date" - Date "time" - "date" - Date

Static Methods

Name	Description
decodeIsoDate	Takes a string formatted according to the XML Schema data type (this is the ISO standard format).
decodeIsoDateTime	Takes a string formatted according to the XML Schema datatime type (this is the ISO standard format). Example: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sTZD (eg 1997-07-16T19:20:30.45+01:00)
decodeIsoTime	Takes a string formatted according to the XML Schema time type (this is the ISO standard format).
getJsType	Takes the XML Schema type name and returns the Javacsript type (class, constructor). For example if you pass "time" you will get Date as the result.
getJsTypeName	Takes the XML Schema type name and returns the Javacsript type name. For example if you pass "time" you will get "date" as the result.
getJsValue	This takes a string and an XML schema type representing a value and then converts this string to the correct Javascript value.
