Small request on xquery ( how to put xml content in a attribute element )
Hello,
I'm using basex to manage numerous collection of xml structure , in the context of a migration program,
i will transfer these structure to an external system , so i need to send them within an embedded attribut value ( of a xml ) :
ex:
BaseX current content is : <NodeX></NodeX>
Remote DataBase ( not xml ) requieres : <Value title="FNX" value="<NodeX></NodeX>">
The XML source is translated to a litteral string ....but what is the function ( Cast ? ) responsible to operate the translation ? By the way , what is the reversed operation that read attribut to XML structure .
Best Regards

This can be done with the fn:serialize() function:
(: start :)
<Value title="FNX">{
serialize(<NodeX></NodeX>)
}</Value>
(: end :)Note that you'll have to prefix your query with a "xhtml" output method declaration if you want to explicitly see the opening and closing tag:
(: start :)
declare option output:method "xhtml";
<Value title="FNX">{
serialize(<NodeX></NodeX>)
}</Value>
(: end :)Best, Christian

That can be done with the function fn:parse-xml(...):

==> <NodeX/>
