All Implemented Interfaces:
  DatatypeValidator

public class StringDatatypeValidator
extends java.lang.Object
implements DatatypeValidator

StringValidator validates that XML content is a W3C string type.

The string datatype represents character strings in XML. The value space of string is the set of finite-length sequences of characters (as defined in [XML 1.0 Recommendation (Second Edition)]) that match the Char production from [XML 1.0 Recommendation (Second Edition)]. A character is an atomic unit of communication; it is not further specified except to note that every character has a corresponding Universal Code Set code point ([ISO 10646],[Unicode] and [Unicode3]), which is an integer.
