Their are 36 different built in Data-Types available for use in XML. Allot of these are very common data types such as string and int. I have a list of several very specific questions that deal with these types.
1. String vs. normalizedString vs. token
I am mostly using strings as dataTypes but for the added effect I wouldn't mind converting allot of them into normalizedStrings. I am under the impression that certain data types are slower than others. Under this assumption are normalizedStrings slower than normal strings. If so, significantly?
Also if my understanding is correct normalizedString convert spaces, tabs, carriage returns, and line feed characters into a single space while tokens simply does not allow for such input. If this is correct, than is there a speed difference between tokken and string?
2. Integer vs. int
Speed, and any other differences between the two?
3. Name vs. QName
How are these two different?
Again ty for any replies. I hope for a worthwhile discussion on the subject.
