Description

The lexical and value spaces of xsd:string are the set of all possible strings composed of any character allowed in a XML 1.0 document without any treatment done on whitespace.

Restrictions

This is the only datatype that leaves all the whitespace. When whitespace isn’t significant, xsd:token is preferred.

Example

The value of the following element:

<title lang="en">

is the full string Being a Dog Is a Full-Time Job, with all its tabulations, and CR/LF if the title element is a xsd:string type.
