YearMonthDuration

Represents an xs:yearMonthDuration value as a count of months, implementing correct XML Schema semantics for month-based date arithmetic.

#YearMonthDuration

Namespace: PhoenixmlDb.Xdm

Represents an xs:yearMonthDuration value as a count of months, implementing correct XML Schema semantics for month-based date arithmetic.

Unlike , which only supports fixed-length durations, this type correctly handles variable-length months. For example, adding 1 month to January 31 yields February 28/29, which cannot be expressed as a fixed number of days. The canonical lexical form is PnYnM (e.g., P1Y6M for 18 months). Negative durations are prefixed with - (e.g., -P3M).
