Class XdmAtomicValue

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Iterable<XdmItem>

    public class XdmAtomicValue
    extends XdmItem
    The class XdmAtomicValue represents an item in an XPath 2.0 sequence that is an atomic value. The value may belong to any of the 19 primitive types defined in XML Schema, or to a type derived from these primitive types, or the XPath 2.0 type xs:untypedAtomic. The type may be either a built-in type or a user-defined type.

    An XdmAtomicValue is immutable.

        public XdmAtomicValue​(QName value)
        Create an xs:QName atomic value
        Parameters:

      • XdmAtomicValue

        public XdmAtomicValue​(java.lang.String lexicalForm,
                              ItemType type)
                       throws SaxonApiException
        Construct an atomic value given its lexical representation and the name of the required built-in atomic type.

        This method cannot be used to construct values that are namespace-sensitive (QNames and Notations)

        Parameters:
        lexicalForm - the value in the lexical space of the target data type. More strictly, the input value before the actions of the whitespace facet for the target data type are applied.
        type - the required atomic type. This must either be one of the built-in atomic types defined in XML Schema, or a user-defined type whose definition appears in a schema that is known to the Processor. It must not be an abstract type.
        Throws:
        SaxonApiException - if the type is unknown, or is not atomic, or is namespace-sensitive; or if the value supplied in lexicalForm is not in the lexical space of the specified atomic type.
    • Method Detail

      • toString

        public java.lang.String toString()
        Get the result of converting the atomic value to a string. This has the same effect as the XPath string() function.
        Overrides:
        toString in class java.lang.Object
      • getPrimitiveTypeName

        public QName getPrimitiveTypeName()
        Get the primitive type of this atomic value, as a QName. The primitive types for this purpose are the 19 primitive types of XML Schema, plus xs:integer, xs:dayTimeDuration and xs:yearMonthDuration, and xs:untypedAtomic. For external objects, the result is xs:anyAtomicType.
        Returns:
        a QName naming the primitive type of this atomic value. This will always be an atomic type.
      • getValue

        public java.lang.Object getValue()
        Get the value as a Java object of the nearest equivalent type.

        The result type is as follows:

        XPath type Java class
        xs:string String
        xs:integer java.math.BigInteger
        xs:decimal java.math.BigDecimal
        xs:double Double
        xs:float Float
        xs:boolean Boolean
        xs:QName QName
        xs:anyURI String
        xs:untypedAtomicString
        Other types currently String, but this may change in the future
        Returns:
        the value, converted to a Java object of a suitable type
      • getBooleanValue

        public boolean getBooleanValue()
                                throws SaxonApiException
        Get the value converted to a boolean using the XPath casting rules
        Returns:
        the result of converting to a boolean (Note: this is not the same as the effective boolean value).
        Throws:
        SaxonApiException - if the value cannot be cast to a boolean
      • getLongValue

        public long getLongValue()
                          throws SaxonApiException
        Get the value converted to an integer using the XPath casting rules
        Returns:
        the result of converting to an integer
        Throws:
        SaxonApiException - if the value cannot be cast to an integer
      • getDoubleValue

        public double getDoubleValue()
                              throws SaxonApiException
        Get the value converted to a double using the XPath casting rules

        the result of converting to a double
        Throws:

      • getDecimalValue

        public java.math.BigDecimal getDecimalValue()
                                             throws SaxonApiException
        Get the value converted to a decimal using the XPath casting rules
