The latest documentation on our REST API is found at:

We're looking forward to your feedback,

Hi Christian
I like the new REST interface.
There is one thing, which I found really great and which is a bit different to what was (and probably still is) provided by command line BaseX client - REST does not allow to create two documents in the same database sharing the same name.
I would appreciate if this concept would be followed also by other types of clients but I can imagine, this is not so easy and could possibly break some existing solutions (but who knows - it could possibly also resolve some troubles, which are quite difficult to resolve so far) .
With best regards
Jan

thanks for testing. To force unique file names, you can now use the REPLACE command instead of ADD. This command is available as command, from XQuery and in most clients. In BaseX 7.0 (which will support incremental index updates), no duplicate file names will be allowed anymore (this will also be fast, even if millions of documents in a single database).
By the way.. the fulltext tokenizer of BaseX 6.8 will offer a Czech stemmer, along with support for 20 other languages.
Have fun,
Christian

hmmmmm
It seems, like someone dropped big bag full of good news somewhere around BaseX team last weeks and you are still very busy sending them out to find your keyboards and make more space for your bright ideas and development.
Looking forward..
Jan

Seeing that 6.8 was renamed to 7.0, was this change postponed to 7.1, or will it still be in 7.0 (as part of the general API breakage)?
I find the notion of duplicate filenames quite confusing.
Kind regards,
Ralf

due to substantial changes in our APIs, and the long list of new features, we decided to upgrade our version number a major one. We'll keep our deadline, though!
In a future version (probably 7.1), we'll add another indirection to our document index that allows us faster checks for unique file names. While this isn't a major issue for smaller collections, we need this extension if millions of documents are stored in a single database (and we had some former use cases in which the filename was completely irrelevant and thus redundant). For now, the REPLACE command should do what you expect (but note that it may take some more time).
Thanks,
Christian
