3 Structure Examples

  • Article

The following table provides an example of almost every record type, and shows the character interpretations.

The record column shows each of the record types. The Type column shows the value of the record type, which is taken from Table 1. The Bytes column show a complete XML document encoded in this format that highlights the use of the record type. Because the record type is not always first, its location in the sequence of bytes is highlighted. The Chars column shows the same data from the Bytes column, formatted as characters. The final column, Characters represented, shows the XML interpretation of the bytes.

Note Records that refer to strings outside the document are shown as "strXXX" where XXX is the integer value.

As described in section 2, the document is represented by the concatenation of the characters represented by the records. No additional characters can be inserted.

For example, if the document consists of the records

 ShortElement(name="element", attributes={})
 Int32Text(value=1234)
 FalseText
 EndElement

then the characters represented by these records are interpreted as the following.

  
 <element>1234false</element>
