Home:Learn XQuery:White Papers:XQuery Myths:Difficult to Use Myth: XQuery is more difficult to use than JDOM, JAXP, and other XML parsing APIsXQuery is less difficult to use with XML data than XML parsing APIs. JDOM, JAXP, and other XML parsing APIs provide Java code with methods for working with XML data. Many object-oriented design patterns propose writing objects that will deal with complexity within an XML document. Writing Java objects takes time, effort, and expertise. Any small change to the underlying XML data format requires maintenance of the object. XQuery enthusiasts bet that an XQuery script will more rapidly find the XML data that an application needs to present than if a developer wrote a Java object using JDOM. Additionally, many XQuery libraries provide Java interfaces so that the XQuery code you write appears in your Java classes and delivers the result set to you just as if you called a method. Your Java class then processes the result. |
