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:
Get Xforms required css to work http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/XSLTForms/CSS
track edit versions/conflicts
