Interface TupleType
- All Superinterfaces:

,ItemType
- All Known Implementing Classes:
TupleItemType
An instance of this class represents a specific tuple item type, for example
tuple(x as xs:double, y as element(employee)).
Tuple types are a Saxon extension introduced in Saxon 9.8. The syntax for constructing
a tuple type requires Saxon-PE or higher, but the supporting code is included in
Saxon-HE for convenience.
Extended in 10.0 to distinguish extensible vs non-extensible tuple types. Extensible tuple
types permit fields other than those listed to appear; non-extensible tuple types do not.
