Learn XQuery

Myth: XQuery is difficult to learn to use

Software developers who write in Java code, .NET, and other languages find XQuery easy to learn. XML has many components that no one would describe as elegant, including parts that were holdovers from the earlier SGML standard. XQuery uses a concise set of commands to make it easy to work with XML data. While the average developer faces certain challenges in adding XQuery to his or her repertoire, the learning curve is not very steep or prolonged.
