Server Protocol: Types

This article lists extended type information that is returned by the Server Protocol.

XDM Metadata

In most cases, the XDM metadata is nothing else than the Type ID. There are three exceptions: document-node(), attribute() and xs:QName items are followed by an additional {URI} string.

Type IDs

The following table lists the type IDs that are returned by the server. Currently, all node kinds are of type xs:untypedAtomic:

8	node()	node
9	text()	node
10	processing-instruction()	node

13	document-node(element())	node
14	attribute()	node
15	comment()	node
32	item()	atomic value
