Hola Christian!, Ahhh con razón!, había estado leyendo la especificación de XQuery 4.0 para otras cosas pero no me había fijado en esa parte, voy a usar la recomendación que comentas en lo que sale la versión 13 , que espero con ansias. Muchas gracias por la explicación! Saludos. Eliúd On Thu, Mar 26, 2026 at 2:25 AM Christian Grün <cg@basex.org> wrote:
Dear Eliúd,
The syntax of method calls was changed in the 4.0 draft of the specification. The %method annotation was replaced by a "=?>" operator:
let $number := { 'value': 1, 'inc': fn { map:put(., 'value', ?value + 1) } } return $number =?> inc()
This is mostly syntactic sugar. In XQuery 3.1, the same code could have been written as:
let $number := map { 'value': 1, 'inc': function($map) { map:put($map, 'value', $map?value + 1) } } let $inc-function := $number?inc return $inc-function($number)
The syntax of the newest version of BaseX is currently documented in the 13 branch of our Wiki [1,2]. Due to numerous changes in the spec, it is about time for a BaseX 13 release.
Hope this helps, Christian

I tested you suggestions and it's works, the last one with little variation:
let $number := { 'value': 1, 'inc': fn { map:put(., 'value', .?value + 1) } } return $number=?>inc()
I was testing 'cause I need to use values objects.

I was testing the feature https://docs.basex.org/main/XQuery_4.0#methods, but the examples raise the error XQST0045
let $vector := { 'x': 5, 'y': 6, 'sum': %method fn() { ?x + ?y } } return $vector =?> sum()
In the fiddle the variation
let $vector := { 'x': 5, 'y': 6, 'sum': fn { ?x + ?y } } return $vector =?> sum()
works
let $number := { 'value': 1, 'inc': %method fn() { map:put(., 'value', ?value + 1) } } return $number?inc()
as does
let $number := { 'value': 1, 'inc': fn { map:put(., 'value', ?value + 1) } } return $number=?>inc()
Not sure about the state of the annotation %method
