This XQuery Module contains functions for extracting internal information on modules and functions and generating documentation.

Conventions

All functions in this module are assigned to the http://basex.org/modules/inspect namespace, which is statically bound to the inspect prefix.
All errors are assigned to the http://basex.org/errors namespace, which is statically bound to the bxerr prefix.

Functions

inspect:function

Signatures inspect:function($function as function()) as element(function)
Summary Inspects the specified $function and returns an element that describs its structure.
Examples inspect:function(count#1) yields:
<function name="count" uri="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions">
  <parameter type="item()" occurrence="*" name="value1"/>
  <return type="xs:integer"/>
</function>

| '''Summary'''
|Retrieves the string from the specified {{Code|$input}}, parses it as XQuery module, and generates an xqDoc element.<br/>xqDoc provides a simple vendor neutral solution for generating a documentation from XQuery modules. The documentation conventions have been inspired by the JavaDoc standard. Documentation comments begin with {{Code|(:~}} and end with {{Code|:)}}, and tags start with {{Code|@}}. xqDoc comments can be specified for main and library modules and variable and function declarations. We have slightly extended the conventions and updated the [http://files.basex.org/etc/xqdoc-1.1.30052013.xsd xqDoc schema]:<br/>
* an {{Code|<xqdoc:namespaces/>}} node lists all namespaces of a module
* if annotations are attached to variables or functions, an {{Code|<xqdoc:annotations/>}} node is added
* variables now have a name and a type.

The query {{Code|xqdoc:parse('sample.xq')}} will convert the following example module...

<pre class="brush:xquery">
(:~ 
 : This module provides some sample functions to demonstrate
 : the features of the Inspection Module.
 :
 : @author BaseX Team
 : @see http://docs.basex.org/wiki/XQDoc_Module
 : @version 1.0
 :)
module namespace samples = 'http://basex.org/modules/samples';

(:~ This is a sample string. :)
declare variable $samples:test-string
  as xs:string := 'this is a string';

(:~
 : This function simply returns the specified integer.
 : @param $number number to return
 : @return specified number
 :)
declare %private function samples:same(
  $number as xs:integer
) as xs:integer {
  $number
};

...to the following output:
