Hi there,

By default, BaseX 8.0 will use the new "adaptive" serialization method [1], which will be included in the new serialization spec:

* It allows you to serialize attributes, namespace and function items (including maps and arrays) * Atomic values will not be escaped anymore. * Items will be separated with newlines

The new default can already be tested [2]. As an example, the following query...

  "me & you",
  map { "B": "C" },
  <x y='z'/>/@y

…will be serialized as follows:

me & you
{
  "B": "C"
}
 y="z"

Please be aware that the new default serialization may generate different results, so please check your existing applications when switching to the new version!

Cheers, Christian

Christian,

Halleluja.

Two remarks: 1. don't see the adaptive mode as default. 2. The serialized output for function is minimal, moreover close to none. Since I use closure-functions for all of my internal datastructures, some more information would be very welcome, see attachment for an example.

Cheers,

Rob

Where would you like, or expect, to see it?

I invited you to create a new bug in the W3 issue tracker. You can refer to the original entry [1] and indicate how you like the output to be extended.

Hope this helps, Christian
