The data is representation of a derived element, e.g. { "qname": "foo", "type": "my:type" "value": Any }

The data value can be a primitive value or a complex value.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
meta XmlMeta

The parent xml meta instance

required
var XmlVar

The xml var descriptor for the field

required
data Dict

The derived element data

required

Returns:

Type Description
Any
