Introduction to Xquery *
نویسنده
چکیده
XQuery is a query language for data stored in xml form. It can be used to search such documents and arrange the result, as an xml structure or a simple text (possibly suitable for a TEX engine). Like xslt 2.0, it is based on XPath 2.0. We propose an introduction to XQuery, and some comparisons with xslt allow readers to discern the applications XQuery is suitable for.

A Light but Formal Introduction to XQuery
We give a light-weight but formal introduction to XQuery by defining a sublanguage of XQuery. We ignore typing, and don’t consider namespaces, comments, programming instructions, and entities. To avoid confusion we call our version LiXQuery (Light XQuery). LiXQuery is fully downwards compatible with XQuery. Its syntax and its semantics are far less complex than that of XQuery, but the typical e...
متن کاملA Prototype for Translating XQuery Expressions into XSLT Stylesheets
The need for a user-friendly query language becomes increasingly important since the introduction of XML. The W3C developed XQuery for the purpose of querying XML data, but XQuery is not available in every tool. Because of historical reasons, many tools only support processing XSLT stylesheets. It is desirable to use tools with XQuery, the design goals of which are, among other goals, to be mor...
متن کاملBuilding Workflow Applications with XML and XQuery
In my previous articles, I introduced some of the mechanics of coding with XQuery and XSLT 2.0 — in a rapid progression from novice to advanced level I started with a brief ten-minute introduction to XQuery, went on from there to explore FLWOR expressions in some depth, and then exposed you to the wonderful benefits of writing schema-aware XSLT and XQuery code. In this article I'm going to stic...
متن کاملCommunicating Query: Where XQuery Fits and How to Implement It
XML Query (also known as XQuery) is now a W3C Recommendation, as of January 2007; in other words, it is recognised by governments and others as an international standard. There are many implementations, and already XQuery is being used in industry. Among the implementations certain patterns have emerged: sets of features, positioning, maturity and more. This paper is intended as an introduction...
متن کاملQuerying the Web Reconsidered: A Practical Introduction to Xcerpt
This article gives a practical introduction into the language Xcerpt, guided by many examples for illustrating language constructs and usage. Xcerpt is a rule-based, declarative query and transformation language for XML data. In Xcerpt, queries and the (re-)structuring of answer (also called "constructions") are expressed in terms of patterns instead of path navigations (like in XSLT and XQuery...
