Thanks Greg,
I've updated our docs a little. Hope this helps, Christian ___________________________

Dear Christian, Thanks for that thoughtful reply! i really appreciate it. i think i was

noting that your wiki page lists 4 distinct APIs. A sentence saying which
is
actively supported and the use of which is encouraged might save some
people
(like me! ;-) a lot of time. ;-) Best wishes, --greg

Hi Greg,
thanks for your mail. You might want to have a look at the following page in our Wiki, where some basic examples are listed how our API can be accessed (..we invite everyone to actively extend our Wiki pages):
http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Code_Examples
Here is one more example how you can directly request the number of documents in the currently opened database:
public final class Test { public static void main(final String[] args) throws Exception { // single, global database context, // which should be used for all database operations Context ctx = new Context(); // open new database new Open("database").execute(ctx); // request and count document nodes System.out.println(ctx.doc().length); // finally close context ctx.close(); } }
We don't have resources to develop a more thorough documentation of our API for free. Instead, a comprehensive documentation will be a future feature of our commercial portfolio. You also might want to have a closer look into the project's JavaDoc.
Hope this helps, Christian ___________________________

Dear Christian, Thanks! i was coming to that conclusion from reading through the examples on github, but it is a bit of detective work. It has been hard for me
from
the posted code samples and wiki to find a clear indication of which APIs are supported and the use of which is encouraged and which APIs are not so much in this category. Admittedly, i've been focused on reading through the material that looks like it might be applicable to my problem and not
on
thoroughly reading your documentation. Is there a page in the wiki or
a
readme in the examples codebase that describes the status of the
various
APIs? In this particular case, is there a code sample you can point me to
that
would flesh out your proposal a bit more. In particular, though i'm issuing the count calculation at the XQuery level i need to take action on the basis of the result at the Java/Scala level. Best wishes, --greg
