[basex-talk] Add command: name of the input will be set as path?

[thufir]

What does it mean that "if null, the name of input will be set as the path"?


Javadoc:

    Add

    public Add(java.lang.String path,
       java.lang.String input)

    Constructor, specifying a target path and an input.

    Parameters:
        path - target path, optionally terminated by a new file name. 
If null, the name of the input will be set as path.
        input - input file or XML string



I'm looking to add an xml file, so am using "null" for the path:

https://stackoverflow.com/q/60035605/262852


but what are the implications?  the "name of the input" will be "set as 
path"?  Where is the "name of the input"?  What is "path" in relation to 
a String which exists only in memory?


Just pass a string like:

new Add(null, stringXml).execute(context);

and that should add to the currently open database?






thanks,
