Gary,

the xqib people can answer you in more details, but in general, what
they do have is a full embedding of a Zorba xquery processor in the  
browser
-- this includes all the functionalities of Zorba, full XQuery with  
updates and
scripting, XQuery 1.1 with groupby, windowing, try-catch, etc, plus  
the REST,
function libraries.

What users use this XQuery for is there own decision: can be very well  
data integration,
  data transformation, RSS integration, etc, everything is good, as  
long as it can be expressed
in XQuery.


Best regards
