Hi Alex,

I am making a new BaseX client for nodejs.

That's nice to hear, thanks for the update!

I hit enter by mistake and gmail sent before I finished listing the current features and adding a link

A little hint: I activated the "undo send" lab feature in GMail. The only problem is that I'm now frequently using this feature instead of properly reading my mail first..

Hi all,

I am making a new BaseX client for nodejs. It focuses on utilising node streams in order to be able to pipe data to/from BaseX directly. (i.e. pipe request body to an ADD command or pipe XQuery output to a response). It also uses promises for more code flow flexibility.

Current features:

• Supports streams where appropriate (command output, query execution,

add, store etc)

• Promises interface
• Query results available as they come
• Events monitor support

Planned features:

• Simple utils (ie db info retrieval, repo management)
• Database OOP (ie `db('test').then(function (db) { db.backup()})`
• Result type conversion
• Built-in support for json results (ie parse json response on-the-fly)

I plan to release it in NPM within the week (It lacks proper documentation and I want to organise my tests as mocha tests).

Hi Alex,

Looks good and certainly cleaner than my effort :-). Literate CoffeeScript is new to me but, having struggled with asynchrous stream parsing in node, I do like the look of https://github.com/alxarch/basex-stream/blob/master/src/parser.litcoffee .I hope to give it try soon.

Cheers /Andy

https://www.npmjs.com/package/basex-stream

It's currently in a usable state. I need to document and test some more. The source is in Literate CoffeeScript so documentation is visible in-place in github. The functionality will expand as new needs arise while using the library in my projects. I am hopeful that this client will be better maintained than my basex-php composer package since I use node and coffeescript on a daily basis, so I will have motive tocontinue work on it.

Cheers, Alex
