This XQuery Module contains functions for manipulating maps. Maps have been introduced with XQuery 3.1 and are described in detail in the XQuery Functions and Operators 3.1 specification.
Contents
Conventions
All functions in this module are assigned to the http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/map
namespace, which is statically bound to the map
prefix.
Functions
Some examples use the map $week
defined as:
declare variable $week := map { 0: "Sun", 1: "Mon", 2: "Tue", 3: "Wed", 4: "Thu", 5: "Fri", 6: "Sat" };
map:contains
Signatures | map:contains($map as map(*), $key as xs:anyAtomicType) as xs:boolean
|
Summary | Returns true if the supplied $map contains an entry with a key equal to the supplied value of $key ; otherwise it returns false. No error is raised if the map contains keys that are not comparable with the supplied $key .
If the supplied key is |
Examples |
|
map:entry
Signatures | map:entry($key as xs:anyAtomicType, $value as item()*) as map(*)
|
Summary | Creates a new map containing a single entry. The key of the entry in the new map is $key , and its associated value is $value .
The function map:merge(( map:entry("Sun", "Sunday"), map:entry("Mon", "Monday"), map:entry("Tue", "Tuesday"), map:entry("Wed", "Wednesday"), map:entry("Thu", "Thursday"), map:entry("Fri", "Friday"), map:entry("Sat", "Saturday") )) Unlike the map:merge(for $b in //book return map:entry($b/isbn, $b)) |
Examples | map:entry("M", "Monday") creates map { "M": "Monday" } .
|
map:find
Signatures | map:find($input as item()*, $key as xs:anyAtomicType) as array(*)
|
Summary | Returns all values of maps in the supplied $input with the specified $key . The found values will be returned in an array. Arbitrary input will be processed recursively as follows:
|
Examples |
|
map:for-each
Signatures | map:for-each($map as map(*), $function as function(xs:anyAtomicType, item()*) as item()*) as item()*
|
Summary | Applies the specified $function to every key/value pair of the supplied $map and returns the results as a sequence.
|
Examples | The following query adds the keys and values of all map entries and returns (3,7) :
map:for-each( map { 1: 2, 3: 4 }, function($key, $value) { $key + $value } ) |
map:get
Signatures | map:get($map as map(*), $key as xs:anyAtomicType) as item()*
|
Summary | Returns the value associated with a supplied key in a given map. This function attempts to find an entry within the $map that has a key equal to the supplied value of $key . If there is such an entry, the function returns the associated value; otherwise it returns an empty sequence. No error is raised if the map contains keys that are not comparable with the supplied $key . If the supplied key is xs:untypedAtomic , it is converted to xs:string .
A return value of |
Examples |
|
map:keys
Signatures | map:keys($map as map(*)) as xs:anyAtomicType*
|
Summary | Returns a sequence containing all the key values present in a map. The function takes the supplied $map and returns the keys that are present in the map as a sequence of atomic values. The order may differ from the order in which entries were inserted in the map.
|
Examples |
|
map:merge
Signatures | map:merge($maps as map(*)*) as map(*) map:merge($maps as map(*)*, $options as map(*)) as map(*) |
Summary | Constructs and returns a new map. The map is formed by combining the contents of the supplied $maps . The maps are combined as follows:
|
Examples |
map:merge(($week, map { 7: "---" }))
map:merge( for $i in 1 to 3 return map { 'key': $i }, map { 'duplicates': 'combine' } ) |
map:put
Signatures | map:put($map as map(*), $key as xs:anyAtomicType, $value as item()*) as map(*)
|
Summary | Creates a new map, containing the entries of the supplied $map and a new entry composed by $key and $value . The semantics of this function are equivalent to map:merge((map { $key, $value }, $map))
|
map:remove
Signatures | map:remove($map as map(*), $keys as xs:anyAtomicType*) as map(*) |
Summary | Constructs a new map by removing entries from an existing map. The entries in the new map correspond to the entries of $map , excluding entries supplied via $keys .
No failure occurs if the input map contains no entry with the supplied keys; the input map is returned unchanged. |
Examples |
|
map:size
Signatures | map:size($map as map(*)) as xs:integer |
Summary | Returns a the number of entries in the supplied map. The function takes the supplied $map and returns the number of entries that are present in the map.
