Request Module

This XQuery Module contains functions for processing servlet request data with the RESTXQ API. Note that, for now, the proposed functions are specific to BaseX and are not described in the existing RESTXQ documentations.

Conventions

All functions in this module are assigned to the http://exquery.org/ns/restxq/Request namespace, which must be dynamically imported. In this documentation, the request prefix is used. Next, the first argument of all functions must be a servlet request container, bound via the %restxq:request(...) annotation. An example:

module namespace test = 'http://basex.org/examples/test';

import module namespace request = "http://exquery.org/ns/restxq/Request";

declare
  %restxq:GET
  %restxq:path("...")
  %restxq:request("{$request}")
  function test:function($request)
{
  ...
};
...
