VXQuery –

XML Data Model Example

Byte Array Break Down

Every XML document in VXQuery is stored in memory as one continuous array of bytes. Pointables are used to refer to these bytes in the memory. This document covers VXQuery's representation of all the different types of elements of an XML document. As a result, we use a lots of pointables (same and different) through out the document. To simplify explanations, each pointable is explicitly assigned a NodeID only on this web page. Refer to the following link for details on the various pointables used: XML Node Details .

XML Document

We use the following XML document as an example to explain VXQuery's node types. The different node types are Node Tree Pointable (NTP), Document Node Pointable (DNP), Element Node Pointable (ENP), Attribute Node Pointable (ANP), Text Node Pointable (TNP), Comment Node Pointable (CNP) and Processing Instruction Node Pointable (PINP).

Bytes

Following are the bytes for the XML document above. Elements in VXQuery are accessed using Tagged Value Pointables. Similarly, the XML document is also accessed using a Tagged Value Pointable. The first byte is represents the value tag. It indicates the type of the bytes that follow.

Node Tree

107 The first byte as described above is the value tag for Node Tree Pointable.

The rest of the bytes represent a Node Tree Pointable. Refer to this link to view the Bytes for the Node Tree Pointable(NTP).

XML Documents in VXQuery are wrapped in Node Tree Pointables. As a side note, every result produced as an output of a function is also wrapped in a NTP.

Following are the bytes and contents of the Node Tree Pointable for this XML document.

Every Document Node Pointable contains a Sequence Pointable. This is analogous to a collection of items(data). In VXQuery, the items(data) in the Sequence Pointable are preceded by the number of items in the sequence and item size.

Sequence Content:

0, 0, 0, 1 These 4 bytes represents the Number of Items in the sequence which is 1

0, 0, 1, 0 These 4 bytes represents the Size of the item which is 257

Data in the Sequence: Here the (item)data in the sequence is an Element Node Pointable (NodeID:1). Note that the data can represent any type of pointable or element.
