Re: [basex-talk] Dr. Mike Kay's proposals for XPath and XQuery 4.0
Hi Marco, We already spent too much time in the HTTP-Client 2 Specification (given its limited scope and complexity), so is definitely something that we should finalize and realize. My current plan is to align this with the switch to Java 11, which comes with much better built-in support for HTTP requests. As you already guessed, it would be something that would remain in the EXPath scope. Regarding YAML, there was not much feedback on Slack when I mentioned it. And after I had browsed through the full specification, I decided there may be better things to do in my free time. Maybe it’ll be better to watch out for existing libraries and get them plugged into BaseX.

Re: [basex-talk] Dr. Mike Kay's proposals for XPath and XQuery 4.0
Couple of things directly out of my mind even if more library than core language oriented are YAML support and the new proposal for convenient HTTP client functions. I remember a proposal by you, Christian, together with Adam maybe? M. On 16/11/20 15:30, Loren Cahlander wrote: Please make sure to keep me in the loop. I will need to keep xqDoc up to date.

[basex-talk] Dr. Mike Kay's proposals for XPath and XQuery 4.0
Hi all - I imagine that Dr. Kay has posted about this in multiple places, but I don't know if he's posting on the BaseX list much. He shared the following links with his thoughts on XPath, XSLT, XQuery, and F version 4.0 [1] - I don't know how many implementers we have on this list, outside of Christian and co., but thought you all might find it interesting. Hope everyone is having a lovely day. Best, Bridger PS I found this announcement on the XML.com Slack channel, fyi.
