Hi Christian, thanks for reviewing the code! REx v5.38 is now online and it includes the -basex option. Use it as follows: - create some grammar G.ebnf, e.g. by using a sample grammar from http://bottlecaps.de/rex/ - create a parser by generating it on http://bottlecaps.de/rex/ using command line options: -tree -java -basex - compile G.java and make class files available to BaseX classpath - invoke parser from XQuery, e.g. declare namespace p="G"; p:parse-S($input) where S is a start symbol of the grammar. - for an XQuery coded parser, use REx options: -tree -xquery - for just a syntax checker, with no parse tree, omit option: -tree If you encounter any problems with this, please let me know. Also please note that I have restored the type of p:match2 in generated XQuery code, which cause bad performance problem with earlier BaseX versions (no longer with 8.4.2). p:transition and some others still come without a type spec, but they are not known to cause any problem and this saves me adding another case distinction to code generation.

And I was amazed to see you’ve even found out how to build the error node via our MemBuilder code (which is not really well-documented, compared to real APIs)… I’ll be happy to play around with it and give more feedback once the -basex option will be available. Thanks! Christian
