XML → HTML reference

Value kind	in XML	in HTML
Int	`<int>1234</int>`	`<td>1234</td>`
Bigint	`<bigint>9007199254740993</bigint>`	`<td>9007199254740993</td>`
Decimal	`<decimal>1234.56</decimal>`	`<td>1234.56</td>`
Float	`<float>1.234e10</float>`	`<td>1.234e+10</td>`
Text	`<char>text</char>`	`<td>text</td>`
Long text	`<text>multi-line text</text> (entities for & <)`	`<td>multi-line text</td> (entities for & <)`
Date	`<date>2026-09-18</date> (xs:date with an XSD)`	`<td>2026-09-18</td>`
Datetime	`<datetime>2026-09-18T14:30:00Z</datetime> (xs:dateTime)`	`<td>2026-09-18 14:30:00</td>`
Binary	`<blob>base64...</blob> (xs:base64Binary)`	`not representable in a cell`
Boolean	`<bool>true</bool>`	`<td>true</td>`
JSON	`escaped inside an element, or its own sub-tree`	`<td>{"a":1}</td> (quotes escaped)`

Both XML and HTML are file formats, so what differs below is how each one chooses to represent a value.

Property	in XML	in HTML
identifiers	`Attribute values in quotes; entities (& < >) for ...`	`Attribute values in quotes; entities for reserved characters`
dates	`Text (xs:date / xs:dateTime when an XSD is in play)`	`Whatever text was rendered`
binary	`base64Binary / hexBinary inside text`	`data: URIs inside src attributes`
encoding	`Declared in the XML declaration`	`Declared in a meta charset tag or the HTTP header`
typing	`None in the markup itself`	`None`
shape	`Arbitrary tree`	`Free form; tables are row/column structures inside markup`
ceiling	`Whole document is usually parsed into memory`	`No formal limit`
