Datatypes in HTML
One of the challenges of using HTML as a data transport is that everything, by default, is a string. This page explores ways to use microformats -- specifically, class names -- to encode data type information, e.g., for use with XOXO 1.0: Extensible Open XHTML Outlines and rest/ahah.
Examples
| Language/format | string | float | integer | boolean | data | date/time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XML Schema | string | float, double | decimal, integer, etc. | boolean | hexBinary, base64Binary | duration, dateTime, date, time |
| Mac OS X plists | string | real | integer | true, false | data | date |
Proposals
- TBD
