Hi Guys,
I was wondering if there was any way to implement wildcards and/or regex matching with the %rest:path annotation when using the RESTXQ module.
I have several situations where I am matching similar numbers of arguments to different functions, or an unknown number of arguments to a single function, and I was trying to figure out the best way to accomplish this.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
there’s a good chance that regex will be supported in a future version of RESTXQ and, thus, BaseX. You are invited to join the discussion in the EXQuery GitHub repository [1, 2]! I guess, e.g., that some time needs to be spent to define how conflicting paths are to be resolved [3].
Best,
Christian

Thanks for the response Christian. It appears everything I need is already either in the works or in the feature requests, so I guess it is only a matter of time.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Written for BaseX 7.7. BaseX may have changed since: please check the current documentation.
