This XQuery Module provides functions to fetch the content of resources identified by URIs. For example, it fetches the content of file or http resources. The module is very similar to Zorba’s Fetch Module.

Functions

fetch:content

Signatures fetch:content($uri as xs:string) as xs:string
fetch:content($uri as xs:string, $encoding as xs:string) as xs:string
Summary Tries to fetch the resource referred to by the given URI.
Errors FORG0006: the specified value is neither a string nor a binary item.
By default, if no $encoding is specified, the content will be guessed from the initial bytes of the input. If no encoding is detected, UTF-8 is used as default encoding.
Errors FODC0002: the resource could not be retrieved.
Examples
