Announce: HXQ: A Compiler from XQuery to Haskell

[Don Stewart]

I think it would make sense to announce this on haskell-cafe at haskell.org
too , which has a much broader readership.

> HXQ is a fast and space-efficient translator from XQuery (the standard
> query language for XML) to embedded Haskell code. The translation is
> based on Haskell templates. HXQ takes full advantage of Haskell's lazy
> evaluation to keep in memory only those parts of XML data needed at each
> point of evaluation, thus performing stream-based evaluation. This
> results to an implementation that is as fast and space-efficient as any
> stream-based implementation based on SAX filters or finite state
> machines. Furthermore, the coding is far simpler and extensible since
> its based on XML trees, rather than SAX events. For example, an XQuery
> against the DBLP XML database (420MB) runs in 1.5 minutes.
