## Interface XSValue

-     public interface XSValue

  Represents an actual value of a simple type.

- - ### Method Summary

    All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `java.lang.Object` | `getActualValue()` The actual value.
    `short` | `getActualValueType()` The actual value built-in datatype, e.g.
    `ShortList` | `getListValueTypes()` In the case the actual value represents a list, i.e.
    `XSSimpleTypeDefinition` | `getMemberTypeDefinition()` If the declared simple type definition is a union, return the member type actually used to validate the value.
    `XSObjectList` | `getMemberTypeDefinitions()` If `getTypeDefinition()` returns a list type whose item type is a union type, then this method returns a list with the same length as the value list, for simple types that actually validated the corresponding item in the value.
    `java.lang.String` | `getNormalizedValue()` The schema normalized value.
    `XSSimpleTypeDefinition` | `getTypeDefinition()` The declared simple type definition used to validate this value.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### getNormalizedValue

          java.lang.String getNormalizedValue()

      The schema normalized value.

    - #### getActualValue

          java.lang.Object getActualValue()

      The actual value. `null` if the value is in error.

    - #### getTypeDefinition

          XSSimpleTypeDefinition getTypeDefinition()

      The declared simple type definition used to validate this value. It can be a union type.

    - #### getMemberTypeDefinition

          XSSimpleTypeDefinition getMemberTypeDefinition()

      If the declared simple type definition is a union, return the member type actually used to validate the value. Otherwise null.

    - #### getMemberTypeDefinitions

          XSObjectList getMemberTypeDefinitions()

      If `getTypeDefinition()` returns a list type whose item type is a union type, then this method returns a list with the same length as the value list, for simple types that actually validated the corresponding item in the value.

    - #### getActualValueType

          short getActualValueType()

      The actual value built-in datatype, e.g. `STRING_DT, SHORT_DT`. If the type definition of this value is a list type definition, this method returns `LIST_DT`. If the type definition of this value is a list type definition whose item type is a union type definition, this method returns `LISTOFUNION_DT`. To query the actual value of the list or list of union type definitions use `itemValueTypes()`.

    - #### getListValueTypes

          ShortList getListValueTypes()

      In the case the actual value represents a list, i.e. the `actualNormalizedValueType` is `LIST_DT`, the returned array consists of one type kind which represents the itemType . For example:

           <simpleType name="listtype"> <list
           itemType="positiveInteger"/> </simpleType> <element
           name="list" type="listtype"/> ... <list>1 2 3</list>

      The `schemaNormalizedValue` value is "1 2 3", the `actualNormalizedValueType` value is `LIST_DT`, and the `itemValueTypes` is an array of size 1 with the value `POSITIVEINTEGER_DT`.
      If the actual value represents a list type definition whose item type is a union type definition, i.e. `LISTOFUNION_DT`, for each actual value in the list the array contains the corresponding memberType kind. For example:

           <simpleType
           name='union_type' memberTypes="integer string"/> <simpleType
           name='listOfUnion'> <list itemType='union_type'/>
           </simpleType> <element name="list" type="listOfUnion"/>
           ... <list>1 2 foo</list>

      The `schemaNormalizedValue` value is "1 2 foo", the `actualNormalizedValueType` is `LISTOFUNION_DT` , and the `itemValueTypes` is an array of size 3 with the following values: `INTEGER_DT, INTEGER_DT, STRING_DT`.
