I just realize that : "Version 7.8 Removed: json:parse-ml, json:serialize-ml Updated: json:parse now returns a document node instead of an element, or an XQuery map if format is set to map. Version 7.7.2 Updated: $options argument added to json:parse and json:serialize Updated: json:parse-ml and json:serialize-ml are now deprecated" So BaseX 7.7.2 and the depreciated method=jsonml is just working fine and doing what I want. http://localhost:8984/rest/factbook?query=//city/name&wrap=yes&method=jsonml Really, why have you removed that ? Because there is the new options argument...it's more complex but ok if knew how to use it with REST API, please help me ^^ : http://localhost:8984/rest/factbook?query=//city/name&wrap=yes&method=json&options=??
