Designing Custom Encoders

Node Type Default Values

The basic default value for the nodeType property is delimited. If, however, the node is the child of a parent node whose Node Type is fixedLength or transient, then the child takes on the same Node Type as the parent. See the following table for additional information.


Note –

This rule does not apply to Choice Element nodes.
