As well as experience with retrieving SQL/XML results via JDBC, proprietary
APIs from the XML database community, and a variety of other related APIs.
And it's worth mentioning that there have been XQuery APIs per se since the
Kweelt API in September, 2000. The submission refers to XQuery APIs
designed by BEA, Oracle, and DataDirect, but I know there are others
designed by Software AG, Infonyte, e-XMLMedia, Microsoft ... I don't think
this list is at all complete.
The API basically has to be able to issue a query against data sources and
retrieve a result, presenting the result using one of the existing standard
XML APIs. At that level, I doubt that the detailed changes in the XQuery
language affect the API significantly at all.
