NAME
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin - Built-in XML Schema datatypes
DESCRIPTION
The SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin hierarchy implements all builtin types from the XML
schema specification.
All XML schema derived types inherit from SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::anyType.
These basic type classes are most useful when used as element or simpleType base classes.
Using SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin uses all of the builtin datatype classes.
All builtin types feature common behaviour described below in "OVERLOADED OPERATORS"
EXAMPLES
my $bool = SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::bool->new({ value => 0} );
print $bool; # prints "true"
# implements <simpleType name="MySimpleType">
# <list itemType="xsd:string" />
# </simpleType>
package MySimpleType;
use SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin;
use SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::SimpleType;
use base qw(SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::SimpleType
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::list
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::string
);
1;
# somewhere else
my $list = MySimpleType->new({ value => [ 'You', 'shall', 'overcome' ] });
print $list; # prints "You shall overcome"
CLASS HIERARCHY
This is the inheritance graph for builtin types.
Types with [] marker describe types derived via the item in [] in the XML Schema specs.
Derivation is implemented via multiple inheritance with the derivation method as first
item in the base class list.

OVERLOADED OPERATORS
Overloading is implemented via Class::Std's trait mechanism.
The following behaviours apply:
• string context
All classes use the "serialize" method for stringification.
• bool context
All classes derived from anySimpleType return their value in bool context
• numeric context
The boolean class returns 0 or 1 in numeric context.
decimal, float and double (and derived classes) return their value in numeric context.
• arrayification (@{})
When accessed as a list ref, objects of all classes return a list ref with the object
itself as single element.
This is most useful for writing loops without additional conversions, especially in
mini-languages found in templating systems or the like, which may not natively support
converting to list refs.
Instead of writing something like
my $value = $complexType->get_ELEMENT;
$value = ref $value eq 'ARRAY' ? $value : [ $value ];
for (@{ $value }) { ... }
you can just write
for (@{ $complexType->get_ELEMENT }) {...}
Note that complexTypes with undef elements still return undef when accessing an
undefined element, so when an element may be empty you still have to write something
like:
my $value = $complexType->get_ELEMENT();
if (defined $value) {
for (@{ $value }) {
...
}
}
Subclasses
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::anyType
Base class for all types
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::anySimpleType
Base class for all simple types
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::anyURI
Type representing URIs
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::boolean
Represents boolean data.
Serializes to "true" or "false".
Everything true in perl and not "false" is deserialized as true.
Returns true/false in boolean context.
Returns 1 / 0 in numeric context.
boolean objects have a special method for deleting their value, because calling
"setl_value(undef)" results in the value being set to false.
$obj->delete_value();
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::byte
byte integer objects.
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::date
date values are automatically converted into XML date strings during setting:
YYYY-MM-DD+zz:zz
The time zone is set to the local time zone if not included.
All input variants supported by Date::Parse are supported. You may even pass in dateTime
strings - the time part will be ignored. Note that set_value is around 100 times slower
when setting non-XML-time strings
When setting dates before the beginning of the epoch (negative UNIX timestamp), you should
use the XML date string format for setting dates. The behaviour of Date::Parse for dates
before the epoch is system dependent.
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::dateTime
dateTime values are automatically converted into XML dateTime strings during setting:
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.nnnnnnn+zz:zz
The fraction of seconds (nnnnnnn) part is optional. Fractions of seconds may be given with
arbitrary precision
The fraction of seconds part is excluded in converted values, as it would always be 0.
All input variants supported by Date::Parse are supported. Note that set_value is around
100 times slower when setting non-XML-time strings
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::decimal
decimal is the base of all non-float numbers
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::double
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::duration
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::ENTITY
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::float
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::gDay
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::gMonth
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::gMonthDay
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::gYear
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::gYearMonth
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::hexBinary
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::ID
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::IDREF
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::IDREFS
List of SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::IDREF objects.
Derived by SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::list.
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::int
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::integer
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::language

SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::Name
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::NCName
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::negativeInteger
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::nonNegativeInteger
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::nonPositiveInteger
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::normalizedString
Tab, newline and carriage return characters are replaced by whitespace in set_value.
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::NOTATION
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::positiveInteger
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::QName
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::short
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::string
String values are XML-escaped on serialization.
The following characters are escaped: <, >, &
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::time
time values are automatically converted into XML time strings during setting:
hh:mm:ss.nnnnnnn+zz:zz
hh:mm:ss+zz:zz
The time zone is set to the local time zone if not included. The optional nanoseconds part
is not included in converted values, as it would always be 0.
All input variants supported by Date::Parse are supported. You may even pass in dateTime
strings - the date part will be ignored. Note that set_value is around 100 times slower
when setting non-XML-time strings.
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::token
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::unsignedByte
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::unsignedInt
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::unsignedLong
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::unsignedShort
CAVEATS
• set_value
In contrast to Class::Std-generated mutators (setters), set_value does not return the
last value.
This is for speed reasons: SOAP::WSDL never needs to know the last value when calling
set_calue, but calls it over and over again...
BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
• Thread safety
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin uses Class::Std::Fast::Storable which uses
Class::Std. Class::Std is not thread safe, so SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin is
neither.
• XML Schema facets
No facets are implemented yet.
