oxsdatatypes is an implementation of some [XML Schema Definition Language Datatypes](https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-2/).
Its main aim is to ease the implementation of SPARQL and XPath.

Usage example:

```rust
use std::str::FromStr;
use oxsdatatypes::Decimal;

assert!(Decimal::from_str("22.2").unwrap() > Decimal::from_str("21").unwrap());
```

Each datatype is represented by a Rust struct.

Each datatype provides:
* `FromStr` implementation to parse a datatype string serialization following its [lexical mapping](https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-2/#dt-lexical-mapping).
* `Display` implementation to serialize a datatype following its [canonical mapping](https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-2/#dt-canonical-mapping).
* `is_identical_with` method following its [identity relation](https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-2/#identity).
* `PartialEq`, and `Eq` if possible, implementations following its [equality relation](https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-2/#equality).
* `PartialOrd`, and `Ord` if possible, implementations following its [order relation](https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-2/#order).
* `From` and `TryFrom` implementations to implement [XPath casting](https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions-31/#casting).
* Various methods implementing [XPath functions](https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions-31/).
* `from_be_bytes` and `to_be_bytes` methods for serialization.
