Pre-release 1.4.1 rev14769

by dizzzz at 2011/06/22 at 20:04:23 z

Today the development team released another pre-release version of eXist-db, rev14769. It contains a number of backports of "trunk". Highlights:

  • bugfix: NPE when serialization options param was zero length string. Port of rev 14690
  • performance: Faster sequence constructors in XQuery: old code parsed (1, 2, 3) into (1, (2, 3)). Processing this recursively eventually caused a stack overflow and was slow. Port of rev 13874, rev 13875
  • bugfix: Local XMLDB API set permissions on the wrong collection - looks like this is an old bug. Port of rev 14735

The revision can be downloaded as an installer jar, exe and as a war file. Please share your experiences (bug reports, general feedback) on the exist-open mailinglist so we can release a final version soon!

Fast and easy JSON output: using the new JSON serializer

by wolf at 2011/03/27 at 22:32:23 z

Many Javascript libraries expect data to be served in JSON (Javascript Object Notation). Since a long time, eXist has provided an XQuery library to convert XML to JSON. This worked well for smaller fragments, but was rather inefficient for larger chunks of data. We have thus developed a faster JSON output method, which directly plugs into eXist's XML serializer.
