Mechanism to serialize maps in output?

Howdy -- Right now, trying to inspect a map (ie. returning one from a query) results in FOTY0012. This is unfortunate from the perspective of allowing users to examine the objects their logic creates. Has thought been given to defining a serialization-friendly way of representing maps, perhaps as XML entities under their own namespace?

Hi Charles, I wrote a small script for myself, together with Leo from our team, to serialize maps directly from XQuery. https://gist.github.com/3f2731c1211f7188664c It might not cover each corner-case but is still quite handy. Hope this helps a little, in the meantime we will investigate whether we will provide an integrated function. Hope this helps :-) Michael

Hello, perhaps it is also worthwhile to check how MarkLogic serializes maps. Kind regards, Hans-Juergen Rennau PS: Here comes an example (representing a map containing map): <map:map xmlns:map="http://marklogic.com/xdmp/map">
   <map:entry key="GlobalDates">
      <map:value xsi:type="map:map">
         <map:map>
            <map:entry key="Booking">
               <map:value xsi:type="xs:date">2012-03-22</map:value>
            </map:entry>
            <map:entry key="Duration">
               <map:value xsi:type="xs:integer">7</map:value>
            </map:entry>
            <map:entry key="CheckIn">
               <map:value xsi:type="xs:date">2012-06-04</map:value>
            </map:entry>
            <map:entry key="CheckOut">
               <map:value xsi:type="xs:date">2012-06-11</map:value>
            </map:entry>
         </map:map>
      </map:value>
   </map:entry>
</map:map>

Hi Charles, and thanks Hans-Jürgen, I've added a GitHub issue to avoid that this is getting lost: https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/issues/448 Christian
