Questions about using eXide, web-based XQuery IDE for eXist-db. Indicates the eXide environment was used in the question and that this may be an important factor in the answer.
eXide is a free, open source, web-based XQuery IDE for eXist-db. It is installed by default with every copy of eXist. Its major features are:
- Edit, validate, and run XQuery in a web-based code editor, with syntax highlighting, inline function documentation lookup, code templates, and code completion
- Browse database collections and resources, change permissions, and upload/download resources
- Execute XQSuite unit tests
- Create eXist applications from several pre-defined templates
eXide can be accessed on standard desktop eXist installations from the eXist task bar, or directly at http://localhost:8080/exist/apps/eXide.
For convenience, users can try a live demo version of eXide via the exist-db.org website at https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/eXide, although the functions there are limited to guest-level permissions. Thus, you cannot save data to the database or perform other administrator user-only functions from this demo instance of eXide.
The source code and community issue tracker for the project can be found at https://github.com/eXist-db/eXide.
