XQUERY files belong to the category of Data Files primarily associated with XML (eXtensible Markup Language), a markup language designed to store data. These files represent a query language that is designed to query collections of XML data.
Working with XQUERY Files
To work with XQUERY files, various programming software and query processors such as Saxon, XMLSpy, and oXygen XML Editor can be used. These tools provide comprehensive functionality for working with XQUERY files and other XML file types.
Running XQUERY Files
Running an XQUERY file involves processing the queries written in XQuery language against an XML document. For example, eXist-db, an open-source database management system, can execute XQUERY files against an XML database. Similarly, BaseX, another open-source XQuery processor, may be used to process XQUERY files effectively.
Converting XQUERY Files
It may sometimes be required to convert XQUERY files into other formats. The conversion can be undertaken with the help of different software tools. These tools may include online converters such as FreeFileConvert, allowing XQUERY to HTML conversion, or software like Notepad++ that enables users to change the file type manually.
XQUERY File Important Information
XQUERY files come with a specific classification under Data Files and have ".xquery" as their extension. Remember, these files are linked to XML, and any tool or software used should be compatible with XML to work with XQUERY files. A text editor or a dedicated XQUERY processing tool will be required to open, edit or run these files. It's also worth noting that since these are essentially text files, they pose no danger to your system.
