Hi Arjan,

I agree it would be nice to have support for multiple commands in REST. As such an extension has been asked for more than once, I have now added a new GitHub issue for your request [1].

The REST API was defined some years before the introduction of XML command scripts; that’s the main reason why the syntax differs so much.

All the best, Christian

I'm trying to REST POST a sequence of commands in accordance with

http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Commands#XML_Syntax

I get the error response:

cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'commands'.

Is there a namespace for <commands> wrapper element? I'd expect it to be

http://basex.org/rest

but the same message is returned on the qualified name:

cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'basex:commands'.

Using Basex 8.5.3

Thanks in advance,
