XQDT provides the following features:

• Support for XQuery 1.1 (e.g., try-catch, group by, windowing)
• Support for XQuery Updates and Scripting Extensions (as defined in the public Standard / Working Draft)
• Syntax highlighting
• Code completion and code templates
• Launching and debugging (in progress) XQuery
• As-you-type validation
