In XQuery, JSON objects are represented as immutable maps. Please check out the documentations to learn how these data structures can be changed [1,2]. _______________

Christian,
The JSON Module suggests that JSON objects are represented as XML-documents with a certain structure, not as immutable maps. Is there support in BaseX for json:parse and json:serialize for parsing JSON in textual form into immutable maps and back to JSON in textual form?
Kind regards, Maurice van Keulen

Hi all,
I think we should make the difference between memory and persisted JSON representations.
From what I know, only a JSON document representation will be persisted, And map representations are only memory ones.
Just use the map (or xquery starting v9) format option at parsing time.
Best regards,
Fabrice

Hi Maurice,
Depending on the chosen format, different outputs will be generated by json:parse. Traditionally, it is true that only XML was generated by this function, but in newer versions (and in alignment with the XQuery 3.1 specs and the fn:parse-json function), it is also possible now to convert JSON data to atomic XQuery items (maps, arrays, strings, numbers and booleans) [1,2]. The resulting representation will be more memory-efficient, and access to XQuery maps is blazing fast, but it won’t be possible to store this representation to a database.
Hope this helps, greetings, Christian

Aside from XQuery and BaseX converting JSON, because JSON is not just objects, I think there could be a problem with the concept of converting JSON to maps, also. For example, these JSON documents aren’t map-like:
1. true 2. ["a", "a", "a", "x"]

True! In the current version of BaseX, the option for converting JSON to XQuery item is still called 'map'. This is confusing, so (with BaseX 9.0) we changed it to 'xquery'.
Christian,
Can you give an example of how to convert JSON data to atomic XQuery items (sepecifically strings, numbers and booleans)? Is it as simple as removing the curly brackets to bound an object?

Hi E. Wray,
Can you give an example of how to convert JSON data to atomic XQuery items (sepecifically strings, numbers and booleans)?
Sure:
let $options := map { 'format': 'map' } for $json in ( '"string"', '1984', 'true' ) return json:parse($json, $options)
With BaseX 9.0, you’ll need to change 'map' to 'xquery'. You can also use fn:parse-json without second argument (see [1] for more examples).
Cheers, Christian
