Java had at that time it’s own query language, actually made by some people originally involved with XQuery. https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/bnbtg.html > > > True that JSON was created later in the same year 2001, however it did not > become widely popular > about until much later. > > > ....but Java was already very very popular. > > Now supposing an individual had cobbled together a language in 10 days that > was so crap that it's leading protagonist actually had to write a book > highlighting it's good parts.

That’s funny and interesting from a historical point of view. But that’s water under the bridge. ============ The question for me is what could XQuery — and all the hard years of heavy experience that we all acquired in querying and processing, indexing, etc for schema-less data during 18 years — bring to the world of NoSQL query languages, which, today, is pretty pathetic.
