Re: [basex-talk] Rounding/parsing decimal vs float

Thanks Kristian, unfortunately this introduces rounding errors which I'm trying to avoid because managing units, measures and monetary amounts. M.

You need to use xs:float or xs:double instead of xs:decimal to be able to use the 'e' or 'E' as the exponent separator.

Hi all,

I thought of asking this in parallel of hacking my own parsing procedure ...

Is there a native way to parse scientific notation string into xs:decimal since a direct casting (xs:decimal("1e1")) is not allowed?

Thanks,

Marco.
