This XQuery Module contains functions for manipulating maps, which has been introduced with XQuery 3.1.
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(*), $fun as function(xs:anyAtomicType, item()*) as item()*) as item()*
|
Summary | Applies a function to every entry of the supplied $map and returns the results as a sequence. The function supplied as $fun takes two arguments. It is called supplying the key of the map entry as the first argument, and the associated value as the second argument.
|
Examples | The following query adds the keys and values of all map entries and returns (3,7) :
map:for-each( map { 1: 2, 3: 4 }, function($a, $b) { $a + $b } ) |
map:get
Signatures | map:get($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 $map and returns the keys that are present in the map as a sequence of atomic values. The order may differ from the order in which entries were inserted in the map.
|
Examples |
|
map:merge
Template:Mark Signature extended with options argument. By default, value of first key is now adopted.
Signatures | map:merge($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, map { $key, $value }))
|
map:remove
Signatures | map:remove($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.
