https://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/: Xerces2 is the next generation of high performance, fully compliant XML parsers in the Apache Xerces family. This new version of Xerces introduces the Xerces Native Interface (XNI), a complete framework for building parser components and configurations that is extremely modular and easy to program.
The Apache Xerces2 parser is the reference implementation of XNI but other parser components, configurations, and parsers can be written using the Xerces Native Interface. For complete design and implementation documents, refer to the XNI Manual.
Xerces2 is a fully conforming XML Schema 1.0 processor. A partial experimental implementation of the XML Schema 1.1 Structures and Datatypes Working Drafts (December 2009) and an experimental implementation of the XML Schema Definition Language (XSD): Component Designators (SCD) Candidate Recommendation (January 2010) are provided for evaluation. For more information, refer to the XML Schema page.
Xerces2 also provides a complete implementation of the Document Object Model Level 3 Core and Load/Save W3C Recommendations and provides a complete implementation of the XML Inclusions (XInclude) W3C Recommendation. It also provides support for OASIS XML Catalogs v1.1.
Xerces2 is able to parse documents written according to the XML 1.1 Recommendation, except that it does not yet provide an option to enable normalization checking as described in section 2.13 of this specification. It also handles namespaces according to the XML Namespaces 1.1 Recommendation, and will correctly serialize XML 1.1 documents if the DOM level 3 load/save APIs are in use.

the corresponding item in the value.

public short getActualValueType();
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.
