What is XQuery?

Summary XQuery is a new XML Querying Language with a SQL-like query style.

XQuery is an XML Querying Language.

It provides flexible query facilities to extract data from virtual (dynamically generated) and non-virtual XML documents, or document collections.

XQuery is a language which can query multiple XML Source documents, as well as relational or native XML databases using XPath, with a SQL-like query style. XQuery is also readable and easy to use.

It is the intention to add updating capabilities in a SQL-like style to XQuery 1.0, but at this point this is still uncertain; however, it is sure it will be added in the near future.

Currently, the W3C status of XQuery 1.0 is Working Draft, the first stage of five until reaching the final W3C Recommendation status.

XQuery uses XPath and is considered a superset of XPath.
