All Superinterfaces:

XSObject, XSTypeDefinition
```
public interface XSSimpleTypeDefinition
extends XSTypeDefinition
```
This interface represents the Simple Type Definition schema component. This interface provides several query operations for facet components. Users can either retrieve the defined facets as XML Schema components, using the facets and the multiValueFacets attributes; or users can separately query a facet's properties using methods such as getLexicalFacetValue, isFixedFacet, etc.
