[basex-talk] Strategy for Persisting Maps that Contain Nodes: db:node-id()

I have large maps that include nodes as entry values. I want to persist these maps in the DB for subsequent retrieval.

I believe the best/only strategy is:

1. Construct a new map where each node in a value is replaced by its node-id() value. 2. Serialize the map to JSON and store as a blob

To reconstitute it, do the reverse (parse JSON into map, replace node-ids() with nodes).

Is my analysis correct? Have I missed any detail or better approach?

Thanks,
