MarkLogic 9 Product Documentationplugin functions
The table below lists all the
plugin built-in
functions (in this namespace:
http://marklogic.com/extension/plugin).
The Plugin API module contains functions that allow you to register plugins for use by MarkLogic Server.
The Plugin API is installed as the following file:
install_dir/Modules/MarkLogic/plugin/plugin.xqy
where install_dir is the directory in which
MarkLogic Server is installed.
To use the plugin.xqy module in your own XQuery modules,
include the following line in your XQuery prolog:
import module namespace plugin = "http://marklogic.com/extension/plugin"
at "/MarkLogic/plugin/plugin.xqy";
The library uses the plugin: namespace, which is
not predefined in the server.
