Implementing a Functional Query Language

Implementing the functional query language XQuery 3.1, though challenging, is much more fun on the BEAM! This talk will discuss the ups, the downs, and the uglies of implementing a W3C XML language in Erlang.

OBJECTIVES

Firstly, to bring awareness of the xqerl project. Secondly, to show that XML isn't as scary as it seems.

AUDIENCE

Developers who have ever wrestled with XML data. Also, people that wish to implement other languages on the BEAM.
