7 qexo ‐ the XQuery language implemented on a Java VM

9SYNOPSIS
10 qexo [options]
11 java kawa.repl ‐‐xquery [options]
12
13DESCRIPTION
14 This manual page documents briefly the qexo package, an
15XQuery imple‐
16 mentation written completely in the Java language. XQuery
17expressions
18 are compiled into Java bytecodes for efficiency.
19
20 XQuery is a new language designed for querying, manipu‐
21lating, and gen‐
22 erating XML and similar data sets.
23
24 Using the qexo script is equivalent to invoking an inter‐
25preter of the
26 Java language on the kawa.repl class and specifying
27the ‐‐xquery
28 option.
