That's great - thanks!
I was looking here for list of all annotations:
http://docs.basex.org/wiki/RESTXQ
But now I see these - %public, %private, or %updating - on this page too:
http://docs.basex.org/wiki/XQuery_3.0#Annotations
Are there any other annotations recognized by basex?

Hi Colin,
Is it possible with restxq to add a document to a db? And if so, to also return an http response?
sure; you need to mark your function as updating, and the db:output() function will allow you to return data. Your updated example is shown below.
Hope this helps, Christian ___________________________________
