[basex-talk] JSON serialization via REST API

Hello,

I'm new in the XML databases world, evaluating BaseX and eXist-db for a new project.

BaseX seems really clean and lightweight.

I would like to use it via the REST API and with a json output.

I test with the factbook.xml example database and the method parameter set to "json" : http://localhost:8984/rest/factbook?query=//city/name&wrap=yes works fine but http://localhost:8984/rest/factbook?query=//city/name&wrap=yes&metho... returns [BXJS0002] JSON serializer: <json> expected as root node.

I don't understand why. I need json serialization whatever is the XML returned by the query.

And I don't understand how to use the json options via the REST API. http://docs.basex.org/wiki/JSON_Module An example could be fine to help.

Best regards

Florent
