Sorry for expressing myself with the wrong terminology. With Java extensions I meant writing my own Java code that somehow connects to the basex apis for parsing an XQuery and returns possible syntax errors mimicking the worflow of the basexgui. It then would be imported through javabindings mechanism of basex. What I was thinking about is a sort of HTML5 based version of the basexgui. Regards, Marco.

Hi Marco,
according to the latter of these points I'd like to know whether there is a possibility of having an XQuery string validated from a syntactical viewpoint.
currently no. It would certainly be doable, but I would like to hear more about the applications you have in mind. For example, I didn't quite get what you meant with the Java extensions?

I mean a sort of validate:xquery($qstr as xs:string) or xquery:check($querystr as xs:string, $ctx as map(*)). It could also be useful to know whether one could be able to implement it as a Java extension to basex and in that case where to start from? The GUI does it so I think it should be doable somehow, isn't it? ;-) Thanks a lot, Marco.
