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.

General Functions

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()` `rest:init($update as xs:boolean) as empty-sequence()`
Summary	Initializes the RESTXQ module cache: By default, the cache will be discarded, and all modules will be parsed and cached again. If `$update` is enabled, the background caching behavior is simulated (see `PARSERESTXQ`): Only updated modules will be parsed. This function should be called if new RESTXQ code is deployed at runtime.

This module was introduced with Version 7.7.
