Re: [basex-talk] file store question

Does it mean that the caller really need to know the type of the resource, in order to determine which db function to call ?

Yes – unless you use WebDAV (which will automatically find out if your input is well-formed XML) or the REST API (which will evaluate the specified content type) [1]. Please note that BaseX is primarily an XML database. This is the reason why extra functions for binary contents have been added. Christian [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Web_Application
