Daffodil is an implementation of DFDL which projects DFDL-described data to and from the XML Infoset.
The DFDL Infoset is somewhat different from the XML Infoset. Daffodil approximates the DFDL Infoset using a subset of the features in the XML Infoset.
The correspondence works like so:
| DFDL Infoset | Daffodil's JDOM XML Infoset |
|---|---|
| Document Information Item | |
| root | |
| dfdlVersion | |
| schema | |
unicodeByteOrderMark Element Information Item | |
| namespace | |
| name | |
| document | |
| datatype | |
| dataValue | |
| children | |
| parent | |
| schema |
