    If your company maintains collections of XML data, XQuery is the technology you’ll soon be using to access that data. Analogous to SQL, XQuery is replacing proprietary middleware languages and Web Application development languages, according to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). XQuery can replace complex Java or C++ programs with a few lines of code. It is simpler to work with and easier to maintain than many other alternatives.

    The W3C working group that developed the XQuery specification says “The mission of the XML Query project is to provide flexible query facilities to extract data from real and virtual documents on the World Wide Web, therefore finally providing the needed interaction between the Web world and the database world.”

    Join Andrew Eisenberg, co-chair of the W3C XML Query Working Group, as he looks at the XQuery language and its future direction. You’ll also learn valuable tips for working with XQuery.
