(Newbie alert)
I just discovered BaseX. Congratulations and big thanks to the authors and all involved!
I have been investigating a LOT of alternatives (programming languages, OSs, toolkits, etc.) and have concluded that the best approach for my application (XML read-only) is to use XPath (plus some XQuery). I have found some introductory examples written in C++ (Xerces) where the authors go through all kinds of complex convolutions to redirect the result of the XPath query to the screen. I hate to state the obvious, but we newbies do not want to send the XML elements to the screen. We rather assign them to some variable.
That is the request I have. I think the application "QueryExample" and similar could use some way to assign the retrieved values to a variable.
Thanks again!
