Alexei, you mentioned REST API extensions in your original post. If not, is it possible by storing .xqy on MarkLogic and wrapping it into a REST API extension and then having the client call the extension?
As noted, the answer is yes, you can build extensions with your custom XQuery. The benefit to this approach is that you'll get all the features of the REST API without additional work, and you can use extensions just to cover those things that the REST API doesn't already provide. Conversely, if you intend for the MarkLogic application server to be directly accessible to the end user, you might want to do your own modules instead of the REST API so that only specifically intended functionality is exposed. Many use a middle tier with the REST API to achieve that separation. -- Dave Cassel Developer Community Manager MarkLogic Corporation<http://www.marklogic.com/> Cell: +1-484-798-8720 From: Rob Szkutak <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Reply-To: MarkLogic Developer Discussion <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Monday, December 15, 2014 at 10:19 PM To: MarkLogic Developer Discussion <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] ways to execute xQuery against Hi again, I forgot to mention: You may also want to look at our guide to extending the REST API which describes a formal way to handle various HTTP methods (GET, PUT, POST, etc.) upon the same REST endpoint: https://docs.marklogic.com/guide/rest-dev/extensions Best, Rob -----Original Message----- From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rob Szkutak Sent: Monday, December 15, 2014 9:10 PM To: MarkLogic Developer Discussion Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] ways to execute xQuery against Hi Alexei, Yes, you can do this.

For example, suppose you have an HTTP App Server you have set up with a root of /space/appserver, listening on port 9876. Now create a file called /space/appserver/hello.xqy with the following content: "hello" Now with curl or with a browser, go to http://localhost:9876/hello.xqy It will prompt you to authenticate, and after that you will get the response of the string "hello" back. Is that what you were asking? -Danny From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alexei Betin Sent: Monday, December 15, 2014 5:37 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] ways to execute xQuery against MarkLogic Hello, I've been experimenting with xQuery syntax using MarkLogic Query console and I've been quite happy with the results so far, but now I'd like to make sure I understand all the options for using xQuery against MarkLogic in an client application: >From documentation, one sure way to execute xQueries would be using XCC API >(Java or .Net) against XDBC interface, but I am a bit confused about whether >there're any other / language-independent options, e.g.: Is it possible to execute xQuery directly using REST API?
