* The module will be available if the {{Code|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 <code><nowiki>http://exquery.org/ns/restxq</nowiki></code> namespace, which is statically bound to the {{Code|rest}} prefix. Prior to {{Version|9.2}}, the module needed to be imported in the query prolog:<pre class="brush:xquery">import module namespace rest = "http://exquery.org/ns/restxq";...</pre>* In this document, the namespace is bound to the {{Code|rest}} prefix.
* The <code><nowiki>http://wadl.dev.java.net/2009/02</nowiki></code> namespace is bound to the {{Code|wadl}} prefix.
* If any of the functions is called outside the servlet context, <code>[[XQuery Errors#BaseX Errors|basex:http]]</code> is raised.

|Initializes the RESTXQ module cache. This function should :* By default, the cache will be called after RESTXQ discarded, and all modules have been replaced while the web server is running, will be parsed and if cached again.* If {{OptionCode|PARSERESTXQ$update}} is not set to enabled, the background caching behavior is simulated (see {{CodeOption|0PARSERESTXQ}}): Only updated modules will be parsed.* This function should be called if new RESTXQ code is deployed at runtime.
