Hi,
Short answer: what you want is to use map:entry() instead of
map:map(). The following returns true (that is, it stores a document
node as the value of the key "key" in the map):
let $doc := document { <foobar/> }
let $map := map:entry('key', $doc)
return
map:get($map, 'key') instance of document-node()
So what is the difference with the following, which stores an element
node instead?
let $doc := document { <foobar/> }
let $map := map:map(
<map:map xmlns:map='http://marklogic.com/xdmp/map'>
<map:entry>
<map:key>key</map:key>
<map:value>{ $doc }</map:value>
</map:entry>
</map:map>)
return
map:get($map, 'key') instance of element()
The difference is that the above first copy the document node to an
XML tree. A document node added to an element is just "ignored", its
children get copied directly, as per the XDM recommendation. This XML
tree is used as an XML representation of a map, and "deserialized".
What is in the element map:value *IS* an element node at this point,
so ends up as such in the map.
This might be more clear if we get rid of all the map machinery:
let $doc := document { <foobar/> }
let $elem := <value>{ $doc }</value>
return
$elem/node() instance of element()
The value of $elem in this last code is the following (which makes
sense, right?, what else could it be?):
<value>
<foobar/>
</value>
