Introduction to the XQuery Mapper

Introduction to the XQuery Mapper, provides an overview of how to connect to query and aggregate XML sources in a powerful, standards-compliant way.

Introduction to XQuery Mapper covers the following topics in detail:

Selecting XML data sources for an XML mapping project, including web service data and XML data
Specifying the use of dynamic, Web service data for use in an advanced XML mapping project, in addition to an XML document
Specifying a target XML Schema output format, and modifying the target XML Schema on the fly
Specifying XQuery or custom functions to aggregate or manipulate data
Defining and using custom data processing functions
Visually specifying relationships between XML source document(s) to a target XML Schema
Joining different XML data sources using an XQuery expression
Creating advanced associations between repeating XML data elements using XQuery FLWR expressions (for, let where, and return) .
Using visual, data processing function blocks in stylus studio to filter data based on conditions, or to specify looping
Chaining together data processing function blocks, creating customized, advanced XML data transformation logic
Previewing the output of an XQuery data mapping in Stylus Studio's XQuery output window
Dynamically fetching web service data for use in XQuery transformation using the Web Service Call composer
Understanding complex mapping relationships with Backmapping, which associates data in the Output Window with the line of XQuery code that generated that output
Understanding Stylus Studio's 2-way, synchronized XQuery editing and mapping which allows you to create any XQuery expression, either manually using Stylus Studio's XQuery editor
