[basex-talk] Add command: name of the input will be set as path?

3 Feb 2020

      What does it mean that "if null, the name of input will be set as the path"?

Javadoc:

     Add

     public Add(java.lang.String path,
        java.lang.String input)

     Constructor, specifying a target path and an input.

     Parameters:
         path - target path, optionally terminated by a new file name. 
If null, the name of the input will be set as path.
         input - input file or XML string

I'm looking to add an xml file, so am using "null" for the path:

https://stackoverflow.com/q/60035605/262852

but what are the implications?  the "name of the input" will be "set as 
path"?  Where is the "name of the input"?  What is "path" in relation to 
a String which exists only in memory?

Just pass a string like:

new Add(null, stringXml).execute(context);

and that should add to the currently open database?

thanks,
