XQuery ( XML Query )

[FBS]

Hi everybody,

I wonder if somebody could help me with this issue.

I would like to rum some XQuery codes aginst my XML files and since I'm
quite new in this area I'm not sure what to do. It is not complicated ( I
have even seen some XQuery examples on the Web ) just listing the values for
some elements for instance. But what I need to know is, first of all, if I
need to download anything?

Where do I put the XQuery codes? I mean could I put it in the html file or
do I have to put it in for instance java code?
Please advise me with the easiest way, I just want to see it work.

best regards,
/Farzad

XQuery is still under development, you will have to look at an existing
implementation, one of them is Saxon (currently in version 8) which you
can find here:
<http://saxon.sourceforge.net/#F8.4SA>
But there are other implementations, you will have to decide on what
platform and with what tools you want to run XQuery and then choose an
implementation.
