Sounds nice, but I don't know what it means.

Simple enough: If the value of 'bar' is 'baz', then /foo/bar applied to both an XML and JSON representation of any given data structure would result in 'baz'.


Also: Traditional
functions could come in handy in all the cases where transformation
works right away.

Sure. I'm not suggesting don't create the functions. Just that regardless of the functions, there will always be cases which there is no possible way to convert from one format to another. As such, if the desired result it to work with a data set regardless of its serialization, why not attempt to create a standardized subset of JSON in which, when adhered to, ensures that the same XPath applied to it will render to same generalized result as it would when applied to its XML "equivalent".


Of course, just such an effort might prove to be impossible. But it's worth thinking about none-the-less.
