A basic FUSE implementation for BaseX
by josef-a-thorne＠pm.me 17 Apr '26

17 Apr '26

Hello all, I've decided to share a small project that I hacked together which was useful for me in my work with BaseX. I found myself wanting to sometimes edit documents in BaseX by hand in my favorite editor without having to export and re-import them. With the deprecation of the WebDAV module, I wrote a basic FUSE filesystem to temporarily replace it for my use cases. I share it in the hope that others might find it useful, though it is rather messy C code. https://github.com/Josef-Thorne-A/basex-fuse/tree/main I heard that there was a FUSE implementation for BaseX in the past, but was unable to dredge up any source code. I also have been working on some EMacs modes for working with BaseX/modern XQuery, but they are not yet polished enough to be worth sharing at large. If there are any other brave EMacs-BaseX users would like to see it though I would be happy to share it with them privately if they message me. – Josef Thorne

Issue with function namespaces in BaseX v12.3?
by Amanda Galtman 16 Apr '26

16 Apr '26

Hi, BaseX team. I tried to use BaseX 12.3 with XSpec to test Schematron schemas with Andrew Sales's XQS implementation. I ran into an error. [XPST0017] Unknown function: true (similar: fn:true). I am not sure if the underlying issue is coming from BaseX or XQS or both. I simplified the query that reproduces the error, but the query still relies on XQS. I briefly tried to reproduce the problem without XQS but haven't been successful yet. Reproduction steps are in the GitHub issue that I created in the XQS repo. Does it ring a bell with any BaseX experts? https://github.com/AndrewSales/XQS/issues/87 Thanks, Amanda

The program seems to run fine, so it probably is just an code validation of the basex editor.Verzonden vanaf mijn Galaxy -------- Oorspronkelijk bericht --------Van: basex-talk-request(a)mailman.uni-konstanz.de Datum: 15-04-2026 12:00 (GMT+01:00) Aan: basex-talk(a)mailman.uni-konstanz.de Onderwerp: BaseX-Talk Digest, V Send BaseX-Talk mailing list submissions to basex-talk(a)mailman.uni-konstanz.deTo subscribe or unsubscribe via email, send a message with subject orbody 'help' to basex-talk-request(a)mailman.uni-konstanz.deYou can reach the person managing the list at basex-talk-owner(a)mailman.uni-konstanz.deWhen replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specificthan "Re: Contents of BaseX-Talk digest..."Today's Topics: 1.

cyclic type declarations

Hi Christian, Just made the next observation: In case of cyclic type declarations the editor throws a "unknown-type:"-error. Module:M0 is a agregate of modules: M1 and M2, and declares a agregated type using type declarations of both imported modules. Modules M1 and M2 declare ther own type but M2 also imports agregated module: M0. This import of MO in M2 causes in this usecase an "unknown type:-error. This is unwanted. Hope it is an easy fix. mvgr. Rob Stapper

default value support for inline functions
by Rob Stapper 13 Apr '26

Hi, I have these inline callback functions that sometimes take an extra parameter. I was wondering if it is possible and feasable that also inline functions support default values. Thnx in advance for your response. mvgr. Rob Stapper

Saxon functions in XQuery or alternatives
by France Baril 04 Apr '26

04 Apr '26

I am trying to to grab the line and colum number of an expression found with ft:search to better integrate results for dynamic interaction in an XML editor. I was hoping to use saxon:line-number, saxon:character-number, but they are unavailable in BaseX XQuery, only available in xslt:transform. Do you have suggestions on how to extract these details from what's available right now in XQuery?
