Actually it is worth flesh out some stuff here. JSONiq - it's vey welcome existence doesn't yet mean it can be part of the solution. If it's not available in the environment you are working in you have to send your data to it - in which case rather than sending the data to the computation it might be simpler to convert to XML and leave the computation in situ. Additionally what I am doing (integrating data from a variety of sources) entails alot of joins. For performance reasons I am really leery about doing that in XQuery or any deriviative thereof. I don't want to expend more R & D capital (doing enough of that already) on a problem (efficient joins) which is solved in other enviroments. Which brings me on to the last point. JSONiq is not an option if XSLT is part of the solution - and in my case because of all the joins XSLT (via xsl:key) is. David Lee's paper. As I mentioned this post was precipitated by a debate with somebody that was repeating many of the JSON/NoSQL hype as fact (as it related to data formats at least). The problem with deploying a paper in an argument is that the other side are not bound to agree with it's conclusions or interpretations. So lo and behold David's figures were interpreted as supporting the superiority of JSON and his conclusions were attributed to XML bias and I couldn't fully respond because I know nothing about jQuery so wasn't able to counter in those areas. I didn't mention his paper at the outset of this discussion because it would have entailed echoing the fellow's critique. The "advantage" of my evidence in the conversation was that he couldn't claim bias since it wasn't set up as a benchmark rather it was a real life solution to a problem that required compacting markup.On Tue, Sep 30, 2014 at 8:54 PM, James Fuller <james.fuller.2007@gmail.com> wrote:
