Hi Paul, > Which is what I expected after reading about the JSONML format. (Not too > happy with that format, but that's another story).
I agree; JSONML is a quasi-standard we have adopted, which is mainly useful for converting arbitrary XML to JSON. If you can decide how your XML format looks like, I would recommend the standard conversion format: declare option output:method "json"; <json type="array" objects='_'>{ for $user in collection("saveresult")//user[_id="1f2cda8f-a18a-44ba-8d17-73626d472306"] return <testResults> <testId>{$user/test/_id}</testId> <grade>{$user/user_info/user_grade}</grade> </testResults> }</json> > Running exactly the same XQuery form within a PHP script however yields > this: The query results are currently sent to all clients in their standard format (i.e., ignoring all serialization parameters). That's why you'll need to convert your JSON within XQuery: json:serialize( <json type="array" objects='_'>{ ... }</json> ) If I remember what was the reason for that design decision, I'll give you an update soon.. Hope this helps, Christian
