    This type can be used with the following WS_FIELD_MAPPING values:

    A nil value is represented using a NULL pointer.


    This type does not support specifying a WS_DEFAULT_VALUE.


    The interpretation of the contents of the WS_XML_BUFFER is as follows:




    • When used at the top level or with WS_ELEMENT_FIELD_MAPPING, the
      WS_XML_BUFFER should contain a single element which represents
      the attribute and element content. The local name and namespace of the
      element in the buffer is ignored; it is replaced with actual element
      name and namespace when the buffer is written. For example:




      // Element in WS_XML_BUFFER
      <PrefixInBuffer:LocalNameInBuffer xmlns:PrefixInBuffer="namespace-in-buffer" other-attributes>
      text-and-or-element-content
      </PrefixInBuffer:LocalNameInBuffer>

      // Element that is written
      <NewPrefix:NewLocalName xmlns:NewPrefix="new-namespace" other-attributes>
      text-and-or-element-content
      </NewPrefix:NewLocalName>


      To avoid problems with namespace collisions, it is a best practice to follow one of the
      following rules when selecting a namespace for the element in the buffer:



      • Use a namespace other than "" that is not otherwise used in the buffer.

      • Use the same namespace as the element that will be written.


      When the value is deserialized, the element name and namespace will correspond
      to the element that was read.




    • When used with WS_ANY_ELEMENT_FIELD_MAPPING, the
      WS_XML_BUFFER should contain a single element which
      represents a single element in the XML content.




    • When used with WS_REPEATING_ELEMENT_FIELD_MAPPING, each
      of the WS_XML_BUFFERs that are serialized in the array
      has the same convention as with WS_ELEMENT_FIELD_MAPPING described above (each WS_XML_BUFFER represents a single element
      in the XML content).




    • When used with WS_REPEATING_ANY_ELEMENT_FIELD_MAPPING, each
      of the WS_XML_BUFFERs that are serialized in the array
      represents a single element in the XML content.




    • When used with WS_ANY_CONTENT_FIELD_MAPPING, the
      WS_XML_BUFFER may contain zero or more top level elements
      or text. This content corresponds to the remaining XML content of the
      containing structure.
    WS_CHAR_ARRAY_TYPE
    Value: 22
    Used when serializing two fields of a structure as a unit: a WCHAR* field which

    WS_FIELD_DESCRIPTION.
    The offset of the count field is specified in the countOffset field, and the
    offset of the chars field is specified in the offset field.

    • WS_NO_FIELD_MAPPING. This is used to initialize a field of a structure
      to a default value when deserializing. This is used for the case where the
      particular field does not have a mapping to the XML content, and the type
      is not one of the other WS_TYPEs. The value will be initialized as
      follows:

      • If WS_FIELD_POINTER is specified, then the field will
        be set to NULL.

      • If WS_FIELD_POINTER is not specified, then the field will
        be set to the WS_DEFAULT_VALUE if allowed for the type and
        specified, otherwise it will be set to all zeros. The size of the field is specified as part of
        the WS_VOID_DESCRIPTION. If a WS_VOID_DESCRIPTION is not specified, the field is interpreted as being size 0.

      WS_ANY_ATTRIBUTES_FIELD_MAPPING. This is
      used to discard the XML content when deserializing, or ignore the field when serializing.
      Since the values are not stored, a field of the structure is not required. The field
      offset should be zero and the field size should be zero (which is the default if a

    Remarks

    Many of the WS_TYPEs have a corresponding type description structure which allows for additional information used to serialize or deserialize the type.

    For example, the WS_INT32_TYPE has a WS_INT32_DESCRIPTION structure which allows for constraints on the deserialized values. This is an optional type description (if not specified, the full 32-bit integer space is allowed).

    Another example is the WS_STRUCT_TYPE, which allows for the specification of a user-defined structure with fields. The fields are described in a WS_STRUCT_DESCRIPTION. This type description is required.

    Type description pointers accompany WS_TYPE in the various APIs and structures that are based on serialization. This should be NULL or non-NULL based on whether or not the type description is not defined, optional or required.
