I have been trying to come up with a way to determine the "format" of a
document in MarkLogic. The only api call that seems directly related is
xdmp:document-uri-format, but this seems to operate on the uri without
any reference to the contents of a document. Instead, I tried testing:
node-kind(doc($uri)/node()[1])
but we just found an XML document for which this returns "text" -
apparently it has a BOM at the start, so the document node has two child
nodes: one text (containing the BOM) and one element (the root element).
Presumably there could be comments there too and processing
instructions, so this strategy is clearly flawed.
Does anybody have a good way to determine whether a document in Mark
Logic is an XML document, a text document or a binary document?
