XQuery Kick Start delivers a concise
introduction to the XQuery standard,
and useful implementation advice for developers needing to put
it into practice. The book starts by explaining the role of
XQuery in the
XML family of specifications, and its
relationship with XPath


The authors then explain the specification in
detail, describing the semantics and data model, before moving
to examples using XQuery to manipulate
XML databases and document storage
systems. Later chapters discuss Java
implementa-tions of XQuery and
development tools that facilitate the development of
Web sites with XQuery
This book is up to date with the latest XQuery
specifications, and includes coverage of new features
for extending the XQuery language.


This book fills an important need for
practical knowledge of XQuery In
addition to covering language basics, it addresses the variety
of XQuery implementations currently
available and gives us a glimpse at the road ahead. Practical
examples, including several higher-level usage scenarios, play
an important role in the development of this material. If
you’re considering a project with
XQuery, do yourself a favor and read this
book.
