Marklogic XQuery to Javascript

Question

I am trying to port an implementation in XQuery onto JS. There is this piece of code in XQuery:

document{$item}/node()

that retrieves an XML document.

Could any one please let me know how an equivalent implementation using MarkLogic JS API could look like?

Answer 1

The XQuery appears to be constructing an XML document instead of retrieving it.

If so, the equivalent Server-Side JavaScript would be:

new NodeBuilder().addDocument(item).toNode().root

For more information, see:

http://docs.marklogic.com/NodeBuilder.addDocument

To retrieve a document, cts.doc() is useful. To retrieve many documents in a single call, use fn.doc()

Hoping that helps,
