```
public interface ContextFreeAtomicValue
```
This interface is implemented by AtomicValues that can be compared without regard to context - specifically, the result of eq and lt comparisons does not depend on collations or on the context-dependent timezone.

- Method Detail
  - getXPathComparable
```
XPathComparable getXPathComparable()
```
    Get an XPathComparable object that supports the semantics of context-free eq and lt comparisons between atomic values. Note that in many cases the returned XPathComparable will be the AtomicValue itself; however because of the constraints of the generic Comparable interface, this cannot be assumed.
    
    Returns:
    
    an XPathComparable that can be used in comparisons with other atomic values.
