Hi,

we've recently updated BaseX from 10.5 to 10.6 and it seems there was some change in the namespace declaration behavior.

Example:

declare function local:list() as element()+ {   (     <string>1</string>,     <string>2</string>,     <string>3</string>   ) };

declare function local:to-json() as element() {     <map xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions">         <string key="id">id</string>         <array key="list">{local:list()}</array>     </map> };

local:to-json()

Output 10.5:

<map xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions">     <string key="id">id</string>     <array key="list">         <string>1</string>         <string>2</string>         <string>3</string>     </array> </map>

Output 10.6:

<map xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions">     <string key="id">id</string>     <array key="list">         <string xmlns="">1</string>         <string xmlns="">2</string>         <string xmlns="">3</string>     </array> </map>

The empty namespace attributes are added when the elements are created with a function and not directly in the context of the parent element.

Was this intended and if yes is there a switch to get the old behavior back?

Best Regards Johannes
