XQuery Reloaded

Summary: XQuery Reloaded reframes XQuery as a full Web app language, not just a query tool, and shows its applicability across scenarios. It surveys XQuery engines and optimizations, discusses Zorba, and offers a Benchmark Service to locate performance bottlenecks. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
