Beside the standard [http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions-30/ XQuery Functions], BaseX offers additional function modules, which are listed in the following table.
 
−
All modules are statically bound, which means that they need not (but may) be explicitly declared in the query prolog.

Revision as of 21:16, 31 March 2012

Welcome to the Query Portal, which is one of the Main Sections of this documentation. BaseX provides an implementation of the W3 XPath and XQuery languages, which are tightly coupled with the underlying database store. High conformance with the official specifications is one of our main objectives, as the results of the XQuery Test Suite demonstrate. This section contains general information on the query processor and its numerous extensions.
