XML Query and XPath
- XPath is a little language for matching sequences of nodes or values
- XPath 2 is type-aware
- XML Query extends a subset of XPath.
- It’s a subset because (in particular) it doesn’t include all the axes. Public feedback on this would be very welcome.
- XML Query extends XPath by adding keywords such as where, and extending
the grammar.
- XML Query adds element construction, functions, modules, static typing and more.
