XQuery

(: Smiling at XQuery everywhere. Unofficial and processor agnostic. Coverage by @joewiz :)

Have some first, very raw prototype of a .NET Core/.NET 6 version of my Saxon (now HE 11.5) XQuery 3.1 fiddle up and running locally:

[Martin Honnen @XSLT_knowmad]

Another update to Saxon 11.5 HE: https://t.co/uR2mNSexZ6 in its Azure back end now runs 11.5 instead of 11.4. Keep in mind that it is for testing, for real workloads or responsiveness use the XSLT or XQuery fiddles on https://t.co/hSwP0lVaqn

[Martin Honnen @XSLT_knowmad]

My IKVM cross compiled dotnet 6 tools for XSLT, XQuery, XSLT with Invisible XML support and XQuery with Invisible XML support have all been updated to Saxon HE 11.5 and are now available on NuGet:

XML Turns 25 Today - XML was first published as a @w3c Recommendation on February 10th 1998, and became ubiquitous in standards such as XSLT and XQuery. @KayEwbank reports. https://t.co/I8hf6EMMbt

Happy 25th birthday #xml :) https://t.co/C36MDAZxVV celebrating with the xml-dev mailing list

Strange long standing Saxon XQuery bug: https://t.co/wh8twZVPs4. You can write a direct element constructor <a b=|c|/> and get <a b="c"/>.

Just to let you all know that eXist-db 6.2.0 has just been released. This one is in memory of my mother, Christine McCrorie. Happy Birthday mum! Release notes are here - https://t.co/LxSYcwZrIV #existdb #xmldb #nosql #xquery #xslt #xforms #xml

@GergelyOrosz One of the most underrated languages to learn, IMHO, is JSONiq. I don't know why document store vendors always come up with new proprietary APIs and "query languages" besides, there's been much work to develop XQuery for tree-structured data as XML -- which is adapted for JSON.

[Christian Baune @programaths]

@nicolaken @bluxte Because XML is verbose and difficult to read! XML is good for complex data models, transformations. Coupled with XQuery it does wonders.
But for small configs -> Json or YAML. One can also use DSLs!

[Adam Retter @adamretter]

It's my great pleasure to announce the eXist-db 6.1.0 release. The details are here - https://t.co/LxSYcwZrIV p.s. For legacy users, we also have smaller releases of eXist-db 4.11.1, and 5.5.1. #existdb #xmldb #nosql #xquery #xslt #xforms #xml

Github project https://t.co/WkoZxakjY2 aiming for nothing less but "to implement XPath 3.1, XQuery 3.1 and XSLT 3.0 in Rust". I might need to try to learn Rust, it seems, to try a new XSLT processor. Let's see whether I can pick up some Rust until there is XSLT 3 support around.

Merry Christmas: major new release of my art code #XQuery #SVG

Lots of new and improved (details in release page or on the Site Not to be Named)

Happy hacking!

Is that how "Houston, we have a problem" sounds in the XML world? XProc 3 implementors struggling to use Saxon 11 for XQuery/XSLT: "Note on Saxon 11[..] Currently there is no known solution for these problems. [..]currently does not support Saxon 11 as XSLT- or XQuery-processor"

I don't see it articulated very often, but I agree with his "start by hand, think about systems" approach. I started my career with an EAD template, then thought "hmmm this shouldn't be so hard" and learned XSLT / XQuery, and picked up programming languages as I needed them.

🔔We just released xst📦

A modern command line interface for #existdb created by @line_o to browse your databases, install applications, run #XQuery and much more.

npm install -g @existdb/xst

@EspenSkaufel @jbogard There's actually a pretty active Slack channel that focuses on XSLT, XPath and XQuery - it has 392 members including many of the key language influencers
