Ours is here: http://www.ifactory.com/cql/.

It does AND, OR, NEAR, quoting, and various other good things. It generates a cts:query, making some assumptions you may or may not like...

We have some updates in an internal version that we could make available if there is interest.

There is also another parser out there in the xqzone that Ryan Grimm made, (I think?)

writes their own parser.

That being said, I remember hearing that someone had open sourced their
parser.  I can't recall who it was but maybe they're lurking here.

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] No query parser?

Before I start asking for some advice, is it true that MarkLogic does
not have any sort of query parser?

I'm looking for something that can take a reasonably parseable string
from a user and pass me back a query expression that MarkLogic can
understand.  So, if the user typed in...

hamlet or macbeth and "harold bloom" not psychology

..I'd like to parse that into something I can feed to cts:search().
I've seen the examples in the Developer's Guide to handle quoted
strings and to build an expression that is a series of
cts:word-query()s nested within a cts:and-query(), but nothing on how
to come up with something that would be nested.  A query like the
above could be parsed into something like:

cts:and-not-query(
  cts:and-query(
    cts:or-query( cts:word-query("hamlet"), cts:word-query("macbeth") ),
    cts:word-query("harold bloom")
  ),
  cts:word-query("psychology")
)

Is there nothing built-in for this?
