Class XMLDateTime

java.lang.Object
org.eclipse.rdf4j.model.datatypes.XMLDateTime
All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, Comparable<XMLDateTime>
public class XMLDateTime extends Object implements Cloneable, Comparable<XMLDateTime>
This class provides utility functions for comparisons operating on xml:dateTime datatypes as specified in W3C XML Schema Definition Language (XSD) 1.1 Part 2: Datatypes.

Known deviations from the standard: - the range of years in this implementation is limited to Integer.MIN_VALUE to Integer.MAX_VALUE for practical reasons.
