This XQuery Module contains helper functions for the RESTXQ API, some of which are defined in the RESTXQ Draft.

Conventions

The module will be available if the basex-api library is found in the classpath. This is the case if you use one of the complete distributions of BaseX (zip, exe, war).
All functions are assigned to the http://exquery.org/ns/restxq namespace, which is statically bound to the rest prefix.
The http://wadl.dev.java.net/2009/02 namespace is bound to the wadl prefix.
If any of the functions is called outside the servlet context, basex:http is raised.

Signatures	`rest:base-uri() as xs:anyURI`
Summary	Returns the implementation-defined base URI of the resource function.

Signatures	`rest:uri() as xs:anyURI`
Summary	Returns the complete URI that addresses the Resource Function. This is the result of rest:base-uri appended with the path from the path annotation of the resource function.

Signatures	`rest:wadl() as element(wadl:application)`
Summary	Returns a WADL description of all available REST services.

Signatures	`rest:init() as empty-sequence()`
Summary	Initializes the RESTXQ module cache. This function should be called after RESTXQ modules have been replaced while the web server is running, and if `PARSERESTXQ` is not set to `0`.

This module was introduced with Version 7.7.
