>> XQuery is a whole other question. Adding another library dependency is something we try to avoid. Zorba
<http://www.zorba-xquery.com/>might work, but it appears to have its own impressive list of dependencies (why does it
requireboth libxml2 and xerces-c? That looks a bit redundant.)
In Zorba, we use libxml2 for parsing XML documents. This dependency is specific to
a particular store implementation. For instance, a store on top of PostgreSQL could use
any parser for importing XML documents.
The xerces-c dependency is used for providing XML Schema support. If you do
not want to provide this functionality in a first step, you can simply switch
it off at compile time and xerces-c will not be required.
The same is also valid for the ICU dependency which is used for Unicode support.
Specifically, Zorba uses it for regular expression evaluation and collation support.
