XQuery 3.1 Requirements and Use Cases Note Published

The XML Query Working Group has published a Group Note of XQuery 3.1 Requirements and Use Cases. The primary goal of XML Query 3.1 is to extend XML Query 3.0 with support for JSON maps and arrays, and to leverage these structures to make XQuery more useful. These data structures are also part of XPath 3.1, and are used in XSLT as well as XQuery. This document specifies goals and requirements for XQuery 3.1.
