[MarkLogic Dev General] JSON with MarkLogic

[Shannon]

In fact, two cases. First, an object with multiple name/value pairs. Second, an array of objects. 

Perhaps:

<select>
 <object>
  <label>value</label>
  <category>books</category>
  [...]
 </object>
 <object>
  <label>value</label>
  <category>magazines</category>
  [...]
 </object>
 [...]
</select>

=>

{
"select": [
 { "label":"value" , "category":"books", [...]}, 
 { "label":"value" , "category":"magazines" }, 
 [...]
 ],
[...]
}

Apologies for any syntactical mistakes--just proposing some patterns....
Thanks.
