Re: [basex-talk] Upgrading BaseX by several major versions

Dear Christian and Nico,

To follow-up on that JSON issue: I think I'm having some trouble with that one.

As Nico suggested, I directly switched my serialization to put the map variable as parameter to 'http:send-request' (a map previously created with map:merge in my code).

But I have the following errors: * When I don't serialize and directly send the map, I get an "*Atomic item required, function item found*" error at request time. * When I *do* serialize it, like I did (with success) in BaseX 9, I get an "*Invalid json message received*" error at request time. The API I query hasn't changed since my BaseX update, and that code was working fine before, so the data I send most likely isn't the problem here. I tried printing the map that is sent/serialized and it's perfectly valid JSON.

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks

Remy

Thanks for pointing this out, Nico. This one should have been documented indeed, or changed with the next major release.

Dear Rémy,

A particular change in BaseX 11.4 that took me a while to find, is a change in http:send-request. So this is only relevant if you use that function. If you send a JSON body, previously you had to serialize it, like:

   http:send-request(
     <http:request method='put'>
       <http:body media-type='application/json'/>
     </http:request>,
     $url,
     serialize($body-map, map{'method':'json'})
   )

This has changed, and the right way to call this is now:

   http:send-request(
     <http:request method='put'>
       <http:body media-type='application/json'/>
     </http:request>,
     $url,
     $body-map
   )

If you use http:send-request, I hope this will save you a bit of time.

Best regards, Nico Verwer
