I'm creating an XML schema and need to include some fields of raw binary data. What built-in datatype offers the most space efficient representation? I see \[code\]base64Binary\[/code\] and \[code\]hexBinary\[/code\] as two possibilities but they both appear to be string representations of hexadecimal codes and thus not space efficient and also incur a time penalty to encode them. What built-in datatype would offer me the best space and time efficient representation of my binary data?
What XML schema dataType is space efficient for binary data?
