xdmp:save

xdmp:save(
   $path as xs:string,
   $node as node(),
   [$options as (element()|map:map)?]
) as empty-sequence()

Summary

Serializes a node as text and saves it to a file. The node can be any node, including a document node, an element node, a text node, or a binary node.

Parameters
path The output file pathname. The path can be fully qualifed or relative. Relative pathnames are resolved from the directory in which MarkLogic Server is installed.
node The node to be serialized.
options Options with which to customize this operation. You can specify options as either an options XML element in the "xdmp:save" namespace, or as a map:map. The options names below are XML element localnames. When using a map, replace the hyphens with camel casing. For example, "an-option" becomes "anOption" when used as a map:map key. This function supports the following options:
output-encoding
Specifies the encoding to use when saving the document.
output-sgml-character-entities
Specifies if character entities should be output upon serialization of the XML. Valid values are normal, none, math, and pub. By default (that is, if this option is not specified), no SGML entities are serialized on output, unless the App Server is configured to output SGML character entities.
method
Valid values are xml, html, xhtml, and text. This is like the corresponding part of both the XSLT xsl:output instruction and the MarkLogic XQuery xdmp:output prolog statement.
cdata-section-elements
A list of space-separated QNames to output as CDATA sections. This is like the corresponding part of both the XSLT xsl:output instruction and the MarkLogic XQuery xdmp:output prolog statement.
encoding
The encoding. This is like the corresponding part of both the XSLT xsl:output instruction and the MarkLogic XQuery xdmp:output prolog statement.
use-character-maps
One or more of the following values, separated by spaces. Valid values are xdmp:sgml-entities-normal, xdmp:sgml-entities-math, and xdmp:sgml-entities-pub. This is like the corresponding part of both the XSLT xsl:output instruction and the MarkLogic XQuery xdmp:output prolog statement.
media-type
A mimetype representing a media type. For example, text/plain or application/xml (or other valid mimetypes). This is like the corresponding part of both the XSLT xsl:output instruction and the MarkLogic XQuery xdmp:output prolog statement.
byte-order-mark
Valid values are yes or no. This is like the corresponding part of both the XSLT xsl:output instruction and the MarkLogic XQuery xdmp:output prolog statement.
indent
Specifies if typed XML (that is, XML for which there is an in-scope schema) should be pretty-printed (indented). Valid values are yes or no. This is like the corresponding part of both the XSLT xsl:output instruction and the MarkLogic XQuery xdmp:output prolog statement.
indent-untyped
Specifies if untyped XML (that is, XML for which there is no in-scope schema) should be pretty-printed (indented). Valid values are yes or no. This is like the corresponding part of both the XSLT xsl:output instruction and the MarkLogic XQuery xdmp:output prolog statement.
indent-tabs
Specifies if tab characters should be used instead of 8 consecutive spaces when indenting. Valid values are yes or no.
include-content-type
Include the content-type declaration when serializing the node. Valid values are yes or no.
escape-uri-attributes
Valid values are yes or no. This is like the corresponding part of both the XSLT xsl:output instruction and the MarkLogic XQuery xdmp:output prolog statement.
doctype-public
A public identifier, which is the public identifier to use on the emitted DOCTYPE. This is like the corresponding part of both the XSLT xsl:output instruction and the MarkLogic XQuery xdmp:output prolog statement.
doctype-system
A system identifier, which is the system identifier to use on the emitted DOCTYPE. This is like the corresponding part of both the XSLT xsl:output instruction and the MarkLogic XQuery xdmp:output prolog statement.
omit-xml-declaration
Valid values are yes or no. This is like the corresponding part of both the XSLT xsl:output instruction and the MarkLogic XQuery xdmp:output prolog statement.
standalone
Valid values are yes or no. This is like the corresponding part of both the XSLT xsl:output instruction and the MarkLogic XQuery xdmp:output prolog statement.
normalization-form
Valid values are NFC, NFD, and NFKD. This is like the corresponding part of both the XSLT xsl:output instruction and the MarkLogic XQuery xdmp:output prolog statement.
default-attributes
Specifies whether attributes defaulted with a schema should be included in the serialization. Valid values are yes or no. This is like the corresponding part of both the XSLT xsl:output instruction and the MarkLogic XQuery xdmp:output prolog statement.

let $text := text { "hello" }
return xdmp:save("hello.txt", $text)

Example
