Hi Fabrice,
- Will BaseX clients still able to connect to the BaseX server serving HHTP requests ?
Yes, that's for sure. By default, a server instance will be started with BaseXHTTP, which can also be accessed by other clients.
This XQuery Client API Module is a very good idea !
Your feedback is welcome..
- IMHO, BaseX should concentrate on processing xml,
I stopped using ZIP module when I realized db:add() was doing the job, in streaming mode.
In our commercial use cases, BaseX and XQuery is used more and more often to write whole Web Applications. This is also the reason for the existence of the ZIP module, and the increasing number of modules being added to the core [1]. By the way, a lot of additional modules exist for sending mails and sms, connecting to (s)ftp servers, creating QRCodes etc., which is not part of the Open Source project, but developed for our customers.
