A quick straw poll - XQueryX have you or are you using it?

[Philip Fennell]

It was John Snelson who told me about the 'XQuery 1.0 Grammar Test Page' <http://www.w3.org/2007/01/applets/xqueryApplet.html> which presents a Java Applet that will parse your XQuery or convert it into XQueryX. For those people dipping their toe in the XQueryX waters then this is a better place to start than stumbling around using oXygen and the XQueryX schema like I did initially.

I also found ' XQ2XML: XML syntaxes for XQuery' by David Carlisle <http://monet.nag.co.uk/xq2xml/> I haven't had a chance to look at it yet but it may prove useful too.


I can see, so far, that not too many people have shown any interest in XQueryX, much as I'd expected, which is because of it purpose rather than anything intrinsically wrong with it. I do hope the XQuery Working Group continue to support XQueryX as XQuery develops.

Just a quick question, if I may,

Have you or are you using XQueryX?

I've noticed that the XQueryX recommendation has been updated as part of the XQuery 1.1 work and I'm interested in knowing if people are using XQueryX, you don't have to say why or what for, I just want to gauge how many people are using it.

For myself, I'm using it as an intermediate step in generating (via XSLT) some XQuery code as it makes more sense to go via XQueryX than it does to go straight to XQuery. Otherwise you get tied-up trying to format the code as much as you do making it valid.
