This XQuery Module contains functions to convert data between different formats.
Contents
Conventions
All functions in this module are assigned to the http://basex.org/modules/convert
namespace, which is statically bound to the convert
prefix.
All errors are assigned to the http://basex.org/errors
namespace, which is statically bound to the bxerr
prefix.
Binary Data
convert:to-string
Signatures | convert:to-string($bytes as basex:binary) as xs:string convert:to-string($bytes as basex:binary, $encoding as xs:string) as xs:string
|
Summary | Converts the specifed binary data (xs:base64Binary , xs:hexBinary ) to a string.The UTF-8 default encoding can be overwritten with the optional $encoding argument.
|
Errors | BXCO0001 : The input is an invalid XML string, or the wrong encoding has been specified.
|
Examples | * convert:to-string(xs:hexBinary('48656c6c6f576f726c64')) returns the string HelloWorld .
|
convert:to-bytes
Signatures | convert:to-bytes($bin as basex:binary) as xs:byte*
|
Summary | Extracts the bytes from the given binary data $bin .
|
Examples |
|
Numeric Data
convert:integer-to-base
Signatures | convert:integer-to-base($num as xs:integer, $base as xs:integer) as xs:string |
Summary | Converts $num to base $base , interpreting it as a 64-bit unsigned integer.The first $base elements of the sequence '0',..,'9','a',..,'z' are used as digits.Valid bases are 2, .., 36 . |
Examples |
|
convert:integer-from-base
Signatures | convert:integer-from-base($str as xs:string, $base as xs:integer) as xs:integer |
Summary | Decodes an xs:integer from $str , assuming that it's encoded in base $base .The first $base elements of the sequence '0',..,'9','a',..,'z' are allowed as digits, case doesn't matter. Valid bases are 2, .., 36 .If $str contains more than 64 bits of information, the result is truncated arbitarily.
