This [[Module Library|XQuery Module]] contains various small some utility and helper functions.

All functions and errors in this module and errors are assigned to the <code><nowiki>http://basex.org/modules/util</nowiki></code> namespace, which is statically bound to the {{Code|util}} prefix.<br/>

Equivalent to <code>$sequencenodes in ''distinct document order'': duplicate nodes will be removed, and the remaining nodes will be returned in [last()]<https://code>www.w3.|org/TR/xquery-31/#dt-document-order document order].
