MarkLogic Server 11.0 Product DocumentationXQuery and XSLT Reference Guide — Chapter 1
About This XQuery and XSLT Guide
This XQuery and XSLT Reference Guide briefly describes some of the basics of the XQuery language, but describes more thoroughly the MarkLogic Server implementation of XQuery, including many of the important extensions to the language implemented in MarkLogic Server. Additionally, it describes how to invoke XSLT stylesheets and briefly describes the MarkLogic Server XSLT 2.0 implementation.
The next two chapters (XQuery Dialects in MarkLogic Server and MarkLogic Server Enhanced XQuery Language) focus on the MarkLogic Server-specific aspects of the XQuery language. If you prefer to start with the more generic aspects of the XQuery language before moving to the MarkLogic Server-specific parts, start with XQuery Language.
Specifically, this guide covers:
- The different dialects of XQuery supported in MarkLogic Server (see XQuery Dialects in MarkLogic Server).
- MarkLogic extensions to the XQuery language (see MarkLogic Server Enhanced XQuery Language).
- An overview of the basic syntax of the XQuery language (see XQuery Language).
- A brief description of XPath syntax (see XPath Quick Reference).
- An introduction to how namespaces work in XML and XQuery (see Understanding XML Namespaces in XQuery).
- Using XSLT in MarkLogic Server (see XSLT in MarkLogic Server).
- Some information on how XQuery and XSLT are used as application development programming languages in MarkLogic Server (see Application Programming in XQuery and XSLT).
