Hello there,
I am working in a project to work with train schedules.
Sadly, the data is given to me as a series of JSON objects which need to be read in line by line.
Is there a way of batch processing JSON, or do I have to submit line by line?

No problem, try this:
for $line in file:read-text-lines('input.json')
return json:parse($line)If you want to store all objects in a database, you can combine the query with
db:add: for $line at $pos in file:read-text-lines('json.json')
return db:add('db', json:parse($line), $pos || '.xml')Our Wiki will give you some more hints [1,2,3].
Hope this helps,
Christian
