Changes

The namespace for serialization parameters is statically bound to the {{Code|output}} prefix. This means that it need not (but may) be declared in the query prolog:

declare namespace output = 'http://www.w3.org/2010/xslt-xquery-serialization';

declare option output:method 'text';

<xml>Hi there</xml>

Due to the wide range of ways how parameters can be supplied, we deliberately ignored one rule of the specification, which requires non-official features to be defined in a non-null namespace URI. In the following, we will indicate which features are specific to our implementation.

The {{Code|csv}} and {{Code|json}} parameters are supplied with a list of options. Option names and values are combined with <code>=</code>, several options are separated by <code>,</code>:

declare option output:method "csv";

declare option output:csv "header=yes, separator=semicolon";

</record>

</csv>

If {{Code|fn:serialize}} is called, output-specific parameters can be supplied via nested options:

serialize(

<csv>

}

)

'''Result''':
