Description

This is a constructor function that takes an item value as argument and returns a value of type xs:byte. If the argument is a literal, then the literal must be a valid lexical form of its type.

As specified in the respective section of the W3C recommendation XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes, xs:byte is a subtype derived from xs:short. The lexical representation is the set of numerical values in the range from -128 to 127. If no sign is used, "+" is assumed.
