listman

The BaseX 7.2.1 release brings together a couple of interesting features that I wanted to check out. A  RESTXQ implementation based on Adam Retter's XML Prague 2012 paper, and an approach to XQuery Update that allows a return value as well as persisting XML changes. It seemed like fun to try these with Alain Couthures XSLTForms

The result..

The code is in 3 main XQuery modules

• listman-rest.xqm The web application
• web.xqm A simple templating system
• edit.xqm handles the XForms editing

The code is in bitbucket See readme.md for installation instructions. The BaseX RestXQ implementation is here

Todo:

The answer is <?css-conversion no?> See http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/XRX/XSLTForms_and_eXist#Modifying_your_CSS_to_work_with_XSLTForms
