Error:

error

yet from the console, desired output:

nicholas@mordor:~$ 
nicholas@mordor:~$ curl http://localhost:8080/exist/rest/db/scripts/notes.xq
<notes>
<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>

<note>
foo
</note>

<note>
bar
</note>

</notes>
<notes>
<note>
foo
</note>
<note>
bar
</note>
<note>
baz
</note>
</notes>nicholas@mordor:~$ 
nicholas@mordor:~$ 
nicholas@mordor:~$ lynx http://localhost:8080/exist/rest/db/scripts/notes.xq  --dump
<notes>
<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>

<note>
foo
</note>

<note>
bar
</note>

</notes>
<notes>
<note>
foo
</note>
<note>
bar
</note>
<note>
baz
</note>
</notes>nicholas@mordor:~$ 
nicholas@mordor:~$

so that's the output I'm looking for, or similar output, from firefox.

eXide

The FLWOR:

xquery version "3.0";

for $note in collection('/db/tmp')/notes
return $note

which is as simple as I could make it.

what eXide returns from the GUI console:

<notes>
<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>

<note>
foo
</note>

<note>
bar
</note>

</notes>
2
<notes>
<note>
foo
</note>
<note>
bar
</note>
<note>
baz
</note>
</notes>

which is the output I was looking for.

So perhaps this is more an error of configuration from the browser more than anything else?

You have two <notes>…</notes> tags in this XML file. The XML specification states that you may only have one root element.

To fix this, remove the:

</notes>
<notes>

in the middle of the document. That will give you six <note>…</note> tags inside a single <notes>…</notes> root.

The reason that curl works is because it isn’t trying to parse the XML, but just showing the plain text result.
