Ongoing Projects

A nearly finished implementation of the XQuery API for Java (XQJ) is available in SVN. It was started as a Google Summer of Code project in 2007 and provides two XQJ drivers, one for embedded database access, one for remote access.

I recently invested some time to bring the branch into sync with the current trunk. The remote database driver, which is based on the REST-style HTTP interface of eXist, should already be pretty usable. The embedded driver needs some redesign though (it breaks the test suite). However, it should not be too much work to fix this and finally merge it into trunk.

Open Tasks

• integrate the official XQJ test suite
• test for standard conformance
• fix the embedded database driver
• merge into trunk
• performance tests
