Have some first, very raw prototype of a .NET Core/.NET 6 version of my Saxon (now HE 11.5) XQuery 3.1 fiddle up and running locally:
.NET 6 ASP MVC app running IKVM cross-compiled Saxon HE 11.5 for an XQuery 3.1 fiddle

Another update to Saxon 11.5 HE: martin-honnen.github.io/xml-… in its Azure back end now runs 11.5 instead of 11.4. Keep in mind that it is for testing, for real workloads or responsiveness use the XSLT or XQuery fiddles on liberty-development.net/

My IKVM cross compiled dotnet 6 tools for XSLT, XQuery, XSLT with Invisible XML support and XQuery with Invisible XML support have all been updated to Saxon HE 11.5 and are now available on NuGet: nuget.org/packages/SaxonHE11…, nuget.org/packages/SaxonHE11…, nuget.org/packages/SaxonHE11…

This is a thin .NET 8/9 command line app/dotnet tool wrapper around the an IKVM compiled Saxon HE 11.7, allowing the use of XSLT 3.0 from the command line. The tool is an experimental use of IKVM and...

XML Turns 25 Today - XML was first published as a @w3c Recommendation on February 10th 1998, and became ubiquitous in standards such as XSLT and XQuery. @KayEwbank reports. i-programmer.info/news/82-he…

Strange long standing Saxon XQuery bug: saxonica.plan.io/issues/5865. You can write a direct element constructor <a b=|c|/> and get <a b="c"/>.

One of the most underrated languages to learn, IMHO, is JSONiq. I don't know why document store vendors always come up with new proprietary APIs and "query languages" besides, there's been much work to develop XQuery for tree-structured data as XML -- which is adapted for JSON.

Because XML is verbose and difficult to read! XML is good for complex data models, transformations. Coupled with XQuery it does wonders. But for small configs -> Json or YAML. One can also use DSLs!

Github project github.com/ballsteve/xrust aiming for nothing less but "to implement XPath 3.1, XQuery 3.1 and XSLT 3.0 in Rust". I might need to try to learn Rust, it seems, to try a new XSLT processor. Let's see whether I can pick up some Rust until there is XSLT 3 support around.

Is that how "Houston, we have a problem" sounds in the XML world? XProc 3 implementors struggling to use Saxon 11 for XQuery/XSLT: "Note on Saxon 11[..] Currently there is no known solution for these problems. [..]currently does not support Saxon 11 as XSLT- or XQuery-processor"

I don't see it articulated very often, but I agree with his "start by hand, think about systems" approach. I started my career with an EAD template, then thought "hmmm this shouldn't be so hard" and learned XSLT / XQuery, and picked up programming languages as I needed them.
