[basex-talk] Problems installing EXPath
I tried installing EXPath, but without success. > REPO INSTALL http://files.basex.org/modules/expath/functx-1.0.xar Stopped at , 1/66: [repo:parse] functx-1.0.xar: Resource "expath-pkg.xml" not found.. If I download the .xar and unzip it, it looks like this: [image: image.png] Here is the content of expath-pkg.xml: http://expath.org/ns/pkg"; name="http://www.functx.com"; abbrev="functx" version="1.0" spec="1.0"> FunctX library http://www.functx.com/functx.xsl functx.xsl http://www.functx.com functx.xq Any thoughts?

[basex-talk] Custom map combinator
Dear all, just thinking out loudly ... Whether it could be interesting to specify a function with proper signature as a custom combinator for map:merge. Currently "duplicates" : "combine" results in the entry value being a sequence of the originating values. This could cause loss of information in the case that one of the merged maps does not contain the key. It could be useful to use defaults or placeholders instead ... Maybe even combine the values as strings or numbers Too exotic? M.

[2] means, there's some item on the left whose value is unequal to some value on the right. hence, (1, 2, 3) != (1, 2, 3) is true because for example 1 onthe left is != to 2 on the right. Since there is no such pair of items here the result is false. != is almost never useful - it doesn't do what most people expect, and was included in XPath 1 for completeness. Use not($seq1 = $seq2) for more sanity, or use eq and ne for singletons.

[1] () = 4 [2] () != 4 The empty sequence is neither equal to nor unequal to the number 4 as it doesn't contain any item to compare 4 to: https://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-31/#id-general-comparisons General comparisons are existentially quantified comparisons that may be applied to operand sequences of any length. The result of the comparison is true if and only if there is a pair of atomic values, one in the first operand sequence and the other in the second operand sequence, that have the required magnitude relationship. Otherwise the result of the comparison is false.
