Galax implementation of XPath and XQuery on CDF

We are using the Galax implementation of XPath and XQuery. To executing a query on cdf is simple: use galax-run at the command line.

Galax downloads, documentation, etc. can be found here. I don't expect you'll need to read the documentation unless you are installing Galax on your own computer.

• XQuery 1.0
• XPath 2.0
• XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Functions & Operators
• XML Query Use Cases
