→Introduction
The RESTXQ service is accessible via {{Code|http://localhost:8984/}}.
All RESTXQ [[XQuery 3.0#Annotations|annotations]] are assigned to the <code><nowiki><nowiki>http://exquery.org/ns/restxq</nowiki></nowiki></code> namespace, which is statically bound to the {{Code|rest}} prefix. A ''Resource Function'' is an XQuery function that has been marked up with RESTXQ annotations. When an HTTP request comes in, a resource function will be invoked that matches the constraints indicated by its annotations.
Whenever a RESTXQ URL is requested, the [[Options#RESTXQPATH|RESTXQPATH]] module directory and its sub-directories will be parsed for functions with RESTXQ annotations in library modules (detected by the extension {{Code|.xqm}}) and main modules (detected by {{Code|.xq}}). In main expressions, the main module will never be evaluated. All modules will be cached and parsed again when their timestamp changes.
