Remarks

Many of the WS_TYPEs have a corresponding type description structure which allows for additional information used to serialize or deserialize the type.

For example, the WS_INT32_TYPE has a WS_INT32_DESCRIPTION structure which allows for constraints on the deserialized values. This is an optional type description (if not specified, the full 32-bit integer space is allowed).

Another example is the WS_STRUCT_TYPE, which allows for the specification of a user-defined structure with fields. The fields are described in a WS_STRUCT_DESCRIPTION. This type description is required.

Type description pointers accompany WS_TYPE in the various APIs and structures that are based on serialization. This should be NULL or non-NULL based on whether or not the type description is not defined, optional or required.
