Name

xs:dateTime

Synopsis

Defined in: XML Schema part 2

This datatype identifies a specific moment in time.

Caveats

Having our planet divided into time zones complicates matters, since one xs:dateTime with a time zone can’t always be reliably compared to another without time zone information.
