Re: [xsl] Subtle (or not?) Map Processing Bug in XQuery

["Eliot Kimber ekimber@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Christian and Jean-Paul,



I hadnbt thought about map:for-each() (not sure I even realized it was an
option).



Ibll have to think about that more.



Map:for-each() B feels very familiar to my JavaScript brain (which it pains me
to admit I even have but there it is).



Ibll check out Joebs book...



Cheers,



E.

Hi Eliot,



Ibm also wondering if therebs any general source of XQuery coding patterns
for working with maps in non-trivial ways? I havenbt run across one but I
havenbt looked too hard yet.



You could use map:remove, either with map:keysb&



let $orphanMap := map:remove($imageMap,

  map:keys($imageMap)[not(local:notReferenced($imageMap(.)('keyname')))]

)



b&or in combination with map:for-each:



let $orphanMap := map:remove($imageMap,

  map:for-each($imageMap, function($k, $v) {

    if(local:notReferenced($v('keyname'))) then () else $k

  })

)



XQuery 4.0 will probably include a map:filter function [1] and,

possibly, additional functions for iterating over the entries of a map

[2].



Hope this helps,

Christian
