The TypeInfo
interface represents a type referenced from
Element
or Attr
nodes, specified in the schemas
associated with the document. The type is a pair of a namespace URI and
name properties, and depends on the document's schema.
If the document's schema is an XML DTD [XML 1.0], the values
are computed as follows:
- If this type is referenced from an
Attr
node, typeNamespace
is
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml"
and typeName
represents the [attribute type] property in the [XML Information Set]
. If there is no declaration for the attribute, typeNamespace
and typeName
are null
.
- If this type is
referenced from an
Element
node, typeNamespace
and typeName
are null
.
If the document's schema is an XML Schema [XML Schema Part 1]
, the values are computed as follows using the post-schema-validation
infoset contributions (also called PSVI contributions):
- If the [validity] property exists AND is "invalid" or "notKnown": the {target namespace} and {name} properties of the declared type if
available, otherwise
null
.
Note: At the time of writing, the XML Schema specification does
not require exposing the declared type. Thus, DOM implementations might
choose not to provide type information if validity is not valid.
- If the [validity] property exists and is "valid":
- If [member type definition] exists:
- If {name} is not absent, then expose {name} and {target
namespace} properties of the [member type definition] property;
- Otherwise, expose the namespace and local name of the
corresponding anonymous type name.
- If the [type definition] property exists:
- If {name} is not absent, then expose {name} and {target
namespace} properties of the [type definition] property;
- Otherwise, expose the namespace and local name of the
corresponding anonymous type name.
- If the [member type definition anonymous] exists:
- If it is false, then expose [member type definition name] and [member type definition namespace] properties;
- Otherwise, expose the namespace and local name of the
corresponding anonymous type name.
- If the [type definition anonymous] exists:
- If it is false, then expose [type definition name] and [type definition namespace] properties;
- Otherwise, expose the namespace and local name of the
corresponding anonymous type name.
Note: Other schema languages are outside the scope of the W3C
and therefore should define how to represent their type systems using
TypeInfo
.

This method returns if there is a derivation between the reference
type definition, i.e. the TypeInfo

is being called, and the other type definition, i.e. the one passed
as parameters.
Params: - typeNamespaceArg – the namespace of the other type definition.
- typeNameArg – the name of the other type definition.
- derivationMethod – the type of derivation and conditions applied
between two types, as described in the list of constants provided
in this interface.
Returns: If the document's schema is a DTD or no schema is associated
with the document, this method will always return false
. If the document's schema is an XML Schema, the method will return
true
if the reference type definition is derived from
the other type definition according to the derivation parameter. If
the value of the parameter is 0
(no bit is set to
1
for the derivationMethod
parameter),
the method will return true
if the other type
definition can be reached by recursing any combination of {base
type definition}, {item type definition}, or {member type
definitions} from the reference type definition.
