Hi Maud - with apologies, I thought I had added a namespace value to my example (I clearly did not).
Hi Christian - I'm a bit confused and I wonder if this is just the typical user/operator error on my part, or if this is a bug? The BaseX documentation for the JSON module[1] states that "... namespaces, comments, and processing instructions will be discarded in the transformation process.", but the output of the following still has namespaces: declare variable $test := <m:me xmlns:m="http://canofbees.org/ns/";><m:mine test="false"/></m:me>; json:serialize($test, map { "format": "jsonml", "indent": false() }) returns ["me", {"xmlns:m":"http:\/\/canofbees.org\/ns\/"},["mine", {"test":"false"}]] I checked the JsonML documentation[2] and it seemed to imply that only XHTML-namespaced nodes would have their namespaces dropped, but that doesn't seem to happen either; e.g. declare variable $xhtml := <dl xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <dt> <span>element</span> <dd>test</dd> </dt> </dl>; json:serialize($xhtml, map { "format": "jsonml", "indent": false() }) returns ["dl", {"xmlns":"http:\/\/www.w3.org \/1999\/xhtml"},["dt",["span","element"],["dd","test"]]] Thanks for any thoughts you can share on this.
