XQuery Examples Collection

[edit | edit source]

Welcome to the XQuery Examples Collection Wikibook! XQuery is a World Wide Web Consortium recommendation for selecting data from documents and databases.

Current Status

[edit | edit source]

2019 refurbishment

[edit | edit source]

There is a Github project to track issues with this book and collaborate amongst eXist db folk at least to bring this resource up-to-date.

Main tasks in the current refurbishment are to:

  • get example code executable again
  • remove complex case studies which use obsolete sources
  • add XQuery 3.0 examples.

Recent Changes

About this Project

[edit | edit source]

This is a collaborative project and we encourage everyone who is using XQuery to contribute their XQuery examples. All example programs must conform to the creative-commons-2.5 share-alike with attribution license agreement [1].

Execution of examples use an eXist demo server.

  1. Instructors: please sign our Guest Registry if you are using this book for learning or teaching XQuery
  2. Contributors: please see our Naming Conventions to ensure your examples are consistent with the textbook
  3. Learners: If you are looking for an example of a specific XQuery language construct, technique or problem but can't find an example, please add a suggestion to the Examples Wanted section.

Transforming Complex XML Documents

[edit | edit source]

XQuery has many features that allow you to transform XML and create full document-style transformation libraries. Unlike traditional "database" documents, complex XML documents have "complex content" that includes in-line elements in unpredictable order. This section provides a foundation for these transformations based on using the XQuery typeswitch functions. Typeswitch function transformations replace XSLT transforms but can also access indexes for very fast transforms of large collections. 50% developed  as of Nov 29th, 2010

Paginated Reports
