XQuery: insert nodes

Question

I am reading an XML file using XQuery and want to insert some nodes / elements and generate a new XML file. How can i do this?

I tried using the replace () function, but it looks like all my XML tags are removed when I call doc () to load my document. So the call to replace () is not good if my XML tags are removed.

Any help? Are there other technologies that I can use?

Answer 1

An extension of the XQuery updateable language — the XQuery update tool — exists to allow document modification.

The node insert is as follows:

insert node <foo>bar</foo>
  into /bar//baz[id='qux']

Among other engines, this is supported by BaseX .
