BaseX: New XQuery 3.0 Features
by Christian Grün 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

Dear all, we have now added documentation to function items [1] and higher order functions [2] in our Wiki. These features are being introduced with XQuery 3.0, and they provide much more powerful ways to write real functional code with XQuery. We dare say that BaseX currently offers the most complete and up-to-date support for these new features! Thanks to our team member Leo, we will soon be able to offer the last pending 3.0 features, such as general flwor expressions, which allow an arbitrary order of FLWOR clauses (fot, let, order, group by, count, etc.) [3] By the way: BaseX 7.2 will be released in about 10 days. Stay tuned..
