Data Type Mapping

The table below lists the data types supported as function return types and parameter types when you create custom .mff files that reference your Java, C#, and C++ libraries. The table lists both native and non-native data types. If you need support for non-native data types such as Altova date, time and duration types, your custom Java and C# libraries must include a reference to the Altova libraries. In the case of C++, the Altova libraries must always be imported. For information about how to generate the Altova libraries, see Code Generator.
