THIS IS A DRAFT PROPOSAL AND NOT AN OFFICAL WTP PROPOSAL YET.

The XQuery Development Toolkit (XQDT) is a proposed project under the Web Tools Project.

According to the Eclipse Development Process, this proposal is intended to declare the intent and scope of the XQuery Development Toolkit project as well as to gather input from the Eclipse community. You are invited to comment on and/or join the project.

Background

XQuery was designed by XML Query working group of the W3C in order to present a convenient way to query largely (but not limited to) XML data collections and became a W3C recommendation on January 23, 2007. Currently many commercial XML Databases support XQuery as a platform to query its data. Also with the upcoming new XQuery version which is 1.1, it is believed XQuery will be the main data query technique for XML documents as well as databases. As such, it is quite useful to have an editor for XQuery with rich functionality such as syntax validation and content assistance under WTP umbrella.

User community

XQuery already has a large user community that covers both the data side of xml as well as the document centric side of the XML. It is becoming the defacto standard for querying XML repositories and data bases, and is a good complement to other XML technologies like XSL. As more traditional database add support for XML databases having a good base set of XQuery tools to use and extend will become increasing important.
