Description
XQuery for Humanists provides an approachable guide to learning XQuery, a language that empowers users to query, manipulate and transform XML and JSON documents. With this book, digital humanists can discover and analyze their data in new ways.
Until now, XQuery has been difficult to learn due to the lack of a textbook designed for non- or beginner programmers. This guidebook fills this void by introducing XQuery in terms accessible to humanities scholars and providing an informed overview of its practical applications.
The authors cover not only the basics of XQuery but also underlying standards like XPath, related standards like XQuery Full Text and XQuery Update, and explain the differences between XQuery and other languages like Python and R. This book is valuable for instructors, faculty, graduate students, librarians and anyone seeking to master XQuery for their projects.
