Description

The bdlat_FormattingMode struct provided in this component defines the symbolic constants for all the formatting modes supported by the bdlat framework. The formatting modes are separated into two categories: a bit-field for the original type (i.e., schema type), and a number of flags.

Original Type (Schema Type)

This bit-field defines the formatting modes that are derived based on the type of an element, as defined in the schema. The available modes are:

Formatting Mode         Description
---------------         -----------
e_DEFAULT               Use a default formatting mode.
e_DEC                   Use the decimal format.
e_HEX                   Use the hexadecimal format.
e_BASE64                Use the base64 format.
e_TEXT                  Use the text format.

Formatting Flags

The following bitwise flags can be applied to a schema element:

Formatting Mode         Description
---------------         -----------
e_UNTAGGED              Use untagged formatting (for anonymous choices).
e_ATTRIBUTE             Use attribute formatting (for XSD attributes).
e_SIMPLE_CONTENT        Use simple content formatting (for XSD simple
                        content types).
e_NILLABLE              Use nillable formatting (for XSD 'nillable'
                        option).
e_LIST                  Use the list format (this is used for arrays).

Usage

Due to the low-level nature of this component, a usage example is not necessary.
