XQuery Add

XQuery Add is used for adding elements, attributes, HTML elements and text in the results from the input documents.

Let's understand it by using an example.

XQuery Add Example

books.xml

snippet

books.xqy

snippet

for $x in doc("books.xml")/bookstore/book/title
order by $x
return $x

Now this XQuery expression will return the title elements in the same manner as they are described in the input document.

Output:

Now you can add your own elements and attributes to the result.

If you want to add some HTML elements to the result, use the XQuery like this:

book.xqy:

snippet




Bookstore

{
for $x in doc("books.xml")/bookstore/book
order by $x/title
return {data($x/title)}. Category: {data($x/@category)}}
