This XQuery Module provides functions that perform different hash operations.
Conventions[edit]
All functions and errors in this module are assigned to the http://basex.org/modules/hash namespace, which is statically bound to the hash prefix.
Functions[edit]
hash:md5[edit]
| Signature
|
hash:md5(
$value as xs:anyAtomicType
) as xs:base64Binary
|
| Summary
|
Computes the MD5 hash of the given $value, which may be of type xs:string, xs:base64Binary, or xs:hexBinary.
|
| Examples
|
string(xs:hexBinary(hash:md5("BaseX"))) returns 0D65185C9E296311C0A2200179E479A2.string(hash:md5(xs:base64Binary(""))) returns 1B2M2Y8AsgTpgAmY7PhCfg==.
|
hash:sha1[edit]
| Signature
|
hash:sha1(
$value as xs:anyAtomicType
) as xs:base64Binary
|
| Summary
|
Computes the SHA-1 hash of the given $value, which may be of type xs:string, xs:base64Binary, or xs:hexBinary.
|
| Examples
|
string(xs:hexBinary(hash:sha1("BaseX"))) returns 3AD5958F0F27D5AFFDCA2957560F121D0597A4ED.string(hash:sha1(xs:base64Binary(""))) returns 2jmj7l5rSw0yVb/vlWAYkK/YBwk=.
|
hash:sha256[edit]
| Signature
|
hash:sha256(
$value as xs:anyAtomicType
) as xs:base64Binary
|
| Summary
|
Computes the SHA-256 hash of the given $value, which may be of type xs:string, xs:base64Binary, or xs:hexBinary.
|
| Examples
|
string(xs:hexBinary(hash:sha256("BaseX"))) returns 15D570763DEB75D728BB69643392873B835CCCC94A2F1E881909DA47662821A3.string(hash:sha256(xs:base64Binary(""))) returns 47DEQpj8HBSa+/TImW+5JCeuQeRkm5NMpJWZG3hSuFU=.
|
hash:hash[edit]
| Signature
|
hash:hash(
$value as xs:anyAtomicType,
$algorithm as xs:string
) as xs:base64Binary
|
| Summary
|
Computes the hash of the given $value, using the specified $algorithm. The specified values may be of type xs:string, xs:base64Binary, or xs:hexBinary.
The following three algorithms are supported: MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256.
|
| Errors
|
algorithm: the specified hashing algorithm is unknown.
|
| Examples
|
string(xs:hexBinary(hash:hash("", "MD5"))) returns D41D8CD98F00B204E9800998ECF8427E.string(hash:hash("", "")) raises an error, because no algorithm was specified.

Description
|
algorithm
|
The specified hash algorithm is unknown.
