Hi Adam,

Hi List,

thanks for pointing out the XQuery implementation, I think it should run just fine in BaseX — yet it is very limited w.r.t. to yml features but might be good start to further refine 😊

I found  another pragmatic way, that might be useful to some:

https://git.basex.io/-/snippets/117

If you can rely on an external tool:

`yq`[1] which integrates an XML output mode, the results might be easy to process.

let $yml := ``[

Tim,

Thanks for the pointer?that?s not quite what I was looking for.

What I have in mind is adding functions that let you read and write Excel spreadsheets using the POI API, which is much easier to use than interacting directly with the OOXML under the covers (Excel uses a lot of indirection and data normalization to minimize file size that makes operating on the raw XML really challenging).

I fully understand that Christian?s team have done this kind of work for hire and are not keen (or even contractually allowed) to give it away. It?s valuable stuff.

But I had to ask?

Cheers,

E.

Hi, Eliot,

I'm not aware of any integration with Apache POI (which would be great), but here's a project--it seems unfinished, but may be enough to get started with?

https://github.com/eliudmeza/OOXML-Library-XQuery-BaseXdb<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/github.com/eliudmeza/OOXML-Library-XQuery-BaseXdb__;!!N4vogdjhuJM!Cz_w2CbhSe65FbmwfzIWxz1yBBNPeXPT0hSo5doXxTx23_7YUjWqLxLXmW_GG3vtM43a0DivKT1Bsd7PXGEHsA$>

All best,

I tried searching for ?BaseX Excel generation? but it didn?t get me farther than a reference to the CSV module, which of course I am familiar with.

I need to add the ability to generate non-trivial Excel spreadsheets, which I know how to do using the Apache POI library, but being lazy I was hoping somebody had already done it in a shareable form.

So my question: Does anyone have or know of a shareable integration of Apache POI with BaseX for generating Excel spreadsheets or some other Excel-generation solution that is not just downloading CSV files?

Thanks,

I found myself needing to operate on some YAML documents and tried to find an XQuery YAML parser and did not find one, at least not one of sufficient completeness.

It seems like kind of an obvious missing thing in the XQuery world so just curious if I missed something?

I don?t have time myself to write one?it can?t be that hard but it?s not that critical of a need for me. I ended up using the Python PyYAML library, which let me quickly convert YAML to JSON, which then I could of course process just fine with XQuery.

Thanks,

E.

Hi Elliot,

I remember having asked info about a possible YAML serialization format
on the Slack Xml.com channel one year ago.

They don't really have a nice opinion about Yaml and no-one looked
really interested in supporting it.

Thus I think there are philosophy matters here :-)

I don't remember the details of that request but in general I don't
think some disdain for YAML means you can't support it, I think Calabash
3 for XProc 3 has support for it, as
https://so.nwalsh.com/2020/02/15/xproc-30 says: "The p:load step will
happily load YAML".

Probably no help currently in the context of BaseX and XQuery but at
least some people in the XML community do support reading YAML.

 Strong, strong backing from the Western Fankurve (the cheap places under no roof and without seats) for Eliot's request! BaseX, we all know it, is a miracle of data integration (once one has discovered the secret of json:doc(), html:doc(), csv:doc()), and YAML is missing! I believe that it is far from trivial (although the common use of YAML would be trivial, but the devil might be in the specified detail), yet it would be really great if BaseX found a way to fill this gap. OpenAPI is sometimes supplied only in YAML! Waving my flag! - Hans-J?rgen

I can certainly imagine that as a BaseX feature YAML parsing has to be pretty low on the list.

There?s got to be a Java library that does it but then somebody has to integrate that library, document it, test it, maintain it?.

I was really just curious about a pure-XQuery YAML parser implementation?

Cheers,

E.
