[MarkLogic Dev General] Inserting node to xml before it is loaded in Marklogic

[Geert Josten]

Hi Pragya,

It sounds like you are looking for 'in-memory' updating of the XML. There was a small library module on XQzone that facilitated with this, but not sure where it went on github. It could also that the xqueryfunctions library (http://www.xqueryfunctions.com/) provides readily available functions that should help you with it. But it is quite trivial with your example:

let $x :=
<x>
                <a>..</a>
                <b>...</b>
                                <c>..</c>
                                <c>..</c>
</x>

return
    element { node-name($x) } {
       $x/@*,
        $x/*,
        <c>...</c>
   }

You can use typeswitch if you need to go through your content recursively..

Kind regards,
Geert

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Inserting node to xml before it is loaded in Marklogic

Hi,

I need to insert and element node to  the following xml without inserting into ML:

<x>
                <a>..</a>
                <b>...</b>
                                <c>..</c>
                                <c>..</c>
</x>

I want to add another <c> element based on some condition to get the desired xml as:
                <x>
                <a>..</a>
                <b>...</b>
                                <c>..</c>
                                <c>..</c>
                                <c>..</c>
</x>

Please let me know how can I do this.

Thanks,
Pragya
