XQuery & XPath users, watch out - i spent a day debugging!

Turns out in BaseX & i think XPath 4 (upcoming), `else` clauses are optional.

This is unexpected in an expression language -

`let $name := if ($p) then get-name($p)
return some-func($name)`

is the same as

`let $name := if ($p) then get-name($p) else ( )
return some-func($name)`

but in a multi-screen if/then/else it’s more likely you just forgot the else() or mismatched some parens.

Since the night of the dead, all soul’s, or halloween is almost upon us, hereś a search you can do to see the most popular #spooky images on #fobo such as this 1878 #grotesque #fountain #mask

Could be Tom Baker on discovering that the Daleks were behind Donald Trump 🙂

You can also add `shoquery=text/plain` to the end of the URL to see the XQuery that was generated for your search :-)

A stone head, or grotesque, stares at us with bulging eyes and crazy curly hair in this engraving of a stone sculpture. There’s the head of maybe a fox peeping over the hair, and the cheeks are bulging as if filled with air. The mouth is open round - it’s a water spout for a fountain!

🇩🇪🇬🇧🇺🇸 Heute habe ich einen eingestürzten Stall von 3DEgos fertiggestellt. Man kann ihn als alte Ruine bemalen und mit Zubehör wie Moos und Efeu überwuchern oder als gerade erst eingestürztes Gebäude, z.B durch Artilleriebeschuss. Ich habe mich für letzteres entschieden.

Today I finished a collapsed stable from 3DEgos. You can paint it as an old ruin and cover it with accessories like moss and ivy, or as a recently collapsed building, perhaps due to artillery fire. I chose the latter.

Building: 3DEgos
Pigs: Ziterdes
Groundcover:
-Dark Earth from BaseXTerrain
-Ruins of Persistence from Krautcover
-Static Gras Straw from Woodland Scenics
-Diorama FX Water Texture from Vallejo

Looking at how knowledgeable #deepseek #ai is about #basex #xquery code.

As reference use case we'll take the digital road condition use case which is powered by the #GaiaX policy and conformity framework, the #BaseX semantic standard, the #PontusX ecosystem and Ocean Enterprise & the Oasis Protocol paratime to provide decentralized base services.

Proud to represent Gaia-X 4 Future #Mobility moveID in tomorrows meeting with the MaaS Alliance. moveID combines #GaiaX, #BaseX, Ocean Enterprise and Oasis Protocol components to realize data-driven mobility services. @deltadao

it is with great pleasure that on Monday the BASE-X project, which I helped to create, will be presented.
Base-X is an innovative, open digital platform dedicated to breaking down data silos and making data and services accessible and understandable. The platform serves as a foundation for new, digitally supported, and interconnected mobility and logistics offerings...

XQuery is a declarative language for querying hierarchical data (nigh-always XML); BaseX is a truly excellent XQuery processor. OxygenXML Editor is a truly excellent starts-with-X development IDE. BUT! BaseX has not been integrated into Oxygen.

If you have any idea what I'm on about, please consider wandering by the feature request page for oXygen and asking for BaseX integration. Apparently they do count the votes when planning new features.

But now I got interested in expanding on those answers.

I my question, I say that xmllint --xpath 'string(//blah)' gave me what I wanted, but only for the first result.

A better expression might be //blah/text(), but then you get all the texts all mushed together. To get them on one line each, you might want to use XPath 2.0 and do fd:concat(//blah/text(), "
") or fd:concat(//blah/text(), codepoints-to-string(10))[0], but then you're outside xmllint territory -- it only uses XPath 1.0.

I'll have a look at #baseX [2] and #eXist [3] (great name, very googlable, thanks people -- I did manage to find it, though) mentioned in [1], to see if they are huge java monsters or if they provide neat tools that can be called in a bash script and is available in all linux dists.
