WS_ELEMENT_DESCRIPTION structure (webservices.h)

  • Article

Represents a mapping between a C data type and an XML element.

Syntax

typedef struct _WS_ELEMENT_DESCRIPTION {
  WS_XML_STRING *elementLocalName;
  WS_XML_STRING *elementNs;
  WS_TYPE       type;
  void          *typeDescription;
} WS_ELEMENT_DESCRIPTION;

Members

elementLocalName

The local name of the XML element.

elementNs

type

Not all types support being read and written as an element. If the documentation for the WS_TYPE indicates it supports WS_ELEMENT_TYPE_MAPPING, then it can be used with this structure.

typeDescription

Additional information about the type. Each type has a different description structure. This may be NULL, depending on the WS_TYPE.
