This example demonstrates a straightforward method for alphabetically sorting a list of Vanderbilt email addresses extracted from a Markdown file. The code loads the email addresses using `fn:unparsed-text-lines`, then performs a case-sensitive sort based on a specific portion of the address. It applies a regular expression via `fn:replace` to isolate the username segment after the first period, and orders the results with an `order by` clause in XQuery 3.1. The output is the sorted list of emails, showing the sorting logic directly in the query.

Web scraping for Summer Teams

This example shows how to extract participant names from Vanderbilt University Library’s summer project listings and reformat them into CSV rows of project–participant pairs. It scrapes the HTML page using `fetch:text` and `html:parse`, then navigates the DOM with XPath to select project headings and member text. The code uses `fn:tokenize` and `fn:replace` to split and normalize names into a “last,first” format, with special handling for suffixes like Jr. or III. Output is generated via the XQuery `output:method` and `output:csv` declarations, producing a comma-separated table.

ORCID names

This example shows ORCID researcher names sorted alphabetically by family name, with each entry formatted as “family name, given name.” The code queries an ORCID XML collection using XQuery 3.1, referencing the ORCID person and personal-details namespaces to extract the name components. It iterates through each `person:name` element, orders the results by family name, and joins the family and given names with a comma and space. The output is a simple list of person elements, demonstrating how XQuery’s `fn:collection` and `fn:string-join` functions can transform structured author metadata into a readable ordered sequence.

Quicksort in XQuery

This visualization compares four XQuery implementations of the quicksort algorithm, each derived from a Haskell reference, to demonstrate functional programming in a query language. It shows how the same recursive sorting logic can be expressed with different XQuery 3.1 features, including `fn:head()`, `fn:tail()`, `position()`, and a random-number generator for permutation. The code uses `local:qsort` functions with `xs:integer*` sequences, and the final example applies the sort to a shuffled list of 1 to 100 generated via `fn:random-number-generator('permute')`. The display highlights syntactical variations, such as explicit `where` clauses versus nested `if` expressions, without altering the core algorithm.

Fold Left for Anonymizing Names

This example demonstrates how to anonymize names in a text string by folding a list of names through a replacement function. It shows the XQuery 3.1 `fn:fold-left` function sequentially applying a replacement operation to a sentence, substituting each occurrence of "Anderson," "Jones," and "French" with "Smith." The code defines a local `replace` function using `fn:replace` and an input sentence containing the names. The result is a fully anonymized sentence, illustrating functional iteration over a sequence of values without explicit loops.

Sorting data

This visualization displays the Enron email network as an adjacency matrix, where each cell represents the correspondence between a sender and recipient. The data is pre-processed by grouping emails by sender and receiver, calculating the total number of emails exchanged and the average sentiment score. The implementation uses d3.v4’s `d3.csv` and `d3.nest` APIs, along with custom JavaScript to structure the data before rendering the matrix. The example is built with the React framework, reading from a CSV file containing email metadata such as date, job titles, and sentiment values.

FWLOR with order by Example

This example demonstrates how XQuery’s FLWOR expression orders a set of book titles alphabetically, distinguishing fiction from nonfiction by class. The code defines an inline XML document containing five books, then uses the `for` and `order by` clauses to sort the sequence before returning each `book` element. The output preserves the original class attributes while arranging the titles in ascending text order. It relies on the standard XQuery evaluation environment, with no external visualization or rendering libraries, focusing purely on the query language’s ordering semantics.

{$title || " - "}

This example displays a list of EAD (Encoded Archival Description) titles sorted alphabetically from a collection of finalized XML files, rendered as plain paragraph elements in an XHTML page. It uses XQuery 3.1 with the `fn:collection` function to gather titles from `titleproper[@type="filing"]` nodes, and a local template function `local:template` constructs the HTML output, setting a dynamic heading level and tab title. The code demonstrates a server-side, XML-to-HTML transformation pipeline without client-side JavaScript libraries or interactive visualization components.

Order by & Group by in XQuery

This example demonstrates how XQuery’s `order by` and `group by` clauses transform an XML book list into grouped output. It shows the difference between sorting titles alphabetically and then grouping them by their `class` attribute, so fiction and nonfiction categories each contain their titles in order. The code defines a `books` element with five `book` children, then iterates with a `for` loop, assigns the text and class via `let`, sorts by title, and groups by class. The result returns the class followed by its titles, revealing how grouping interacts with pre-sorting. No external libraries are used, only the XQuery language’s core expressions.
