Altova MapForce 2022 Basic Edition

QNames

MapForce resolves QName (qualified name) prefixes (https://www.w3.org/TR/xml-names/#ns-qualnames) when reading data from XML files at mapping execution run-time.

QNames are used to reference and abbreviate namespace URIs in XML instance documents. There are two types of QNames: Prefixed and Unprefixed QNames.

PrefixedName	Prefix ':'	LocalPart
UnPrefixedName		LocalPart
		where LocalPart is an Element or Attribute name.

For example, in the listing below, <x:p/> is a QName, where:

•the prefix "x" is an abbreviation of the namespace "http://myCompany.com".

•p is the local part.

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<doc xmlns:x="http://myCompany.com">
<x:p/>
</doc>

MapForce also includes several QName-related functions in the core | QName functions library.
