Java 5.0

This Level 3 interface represents information about the type of an Element or Attr node. Obtain a TypeInfo object by calling the getSchemaTypeInfo( ) method of an Element or Attr . Note that TypeInfo information is only available if the document has been validated against a W3C XML Schema.

The methods of TypeInfo return the name and namespace of the element or attribute type. isDerivedFrom( ) determines if the type is a derivative of another named type. The constants defined by the interface specify different derivation techniques for types.
