Text Query Building Starter Pack

Compose text queries without turning your code into spaghetti

Master text search with cts:word-query(), cts:or-query(), and cts:not-query(). Tune stemming, wildcarding, case/diacritic sensitivity, and synonym behaviour with runnable examples on llamaverse data.

Optic Data Analysis Starter Pack

Group, aggregate, reshape, and expand Optic result sets without losing the thread

Aggregate and group data with op:group-by(), op:array-aggregate(), op:group-to-arrays(), and op:group-by-union(). Build reporting shapes and ungrouping patterns with runnable llamaverse examples.

Relevance and Scoring Starter Pack

Understand what ranked first and why

Understand MarkLogic relevance tuning with cts:score(), cts:confidence(), cts:fitness(), cts:remainder(), cts:quality(), and cts:relevance-info(). Learn why results rank in a specific order and how to inspect the signals behind that ranking.

URI and Collection Auditing Starter Pack

Reliable URI-level checks for real llamaverse operations

Audit document URIs and collections with cts:uris(), cts:collection-query(), and cts:collection-match(). Use wildcard discovery and collection scoping to validate document identity and organization in production systems.

Search Composition Starter Pack

Build and inspect practical query blocks on top of llamaverse content

Compose production-grade search with cts:search(), cts:and-query(), cts:contains(), cts:walk(), cts:highlight(), cts:parse(), and cts:estimate(). See how search text becomes nested and/or/near query trees, add lexicon-first scope with cts:uri-match() and cts:collection-match(), and validate behaviour with runnable llamaverse outputs.

Optic Data Source Starter Pack

Build Optic plans from views, lexicons, search, documents, and descriptors

Query diverse data sources with Optic functions like op.fromView(), op.fromSearch(), op.fromLexicons(), and op.fromSparql(). Build stable row plans from views, lexicons, search results, and more.

Runtime and Storage Starter Pack

Fast checks for volume, placement, and document format in llamaverse

Use MarkLogic runtime and storage probes to answer practical operational questions about volume, placement, document format, and binary storage model - including the difference between regular and registered (external) binaries. These examples are useful when you need quick facts before tuning, debugging, or rebalancing content.

Document Inspection Starter Pack

Inspect document metadata by URI or straight from the node, run against llamaverse today

Inspect MarkLogic document metadata two ways: xdmp:document-xxx functions that need a URI, and xdmp:node-xxx functions that work directly on any node - however deep - and still resolve back to the owning fragment. Covers node-uri, node-kind, node-collections, node-permissions, document-get-collections, document-get-permissions, document-properties, document-get-metadata/document-set-metadata, node-metadata/node-metadata-value, and an inline cts:document-permission-query() demo for auditing permissions at scale.

Optic Data Manipulation Starter Pack

Shape XML, run expression libraries at runtime, and execute update plans cleanly

Transform row data with op:xpath(), op:write(), and op:execute(). Shape XML into rows, prove runtime expression evaluation with ofn/oxs/oxdmp, and drive privilege-snapshot update pipelines.

Semantics and SPARQL Starter Pack

Parse RDF, load graph data, and query with SPARQL in one practical reference

A live-data MarkLogic Semantics and SPARQL reference using the llamaverse wild-llamas collection to demonstrate RDF parsing, named-graph insertion, in-memory and database-backed stores, external bindings, SELECT and CONSTRUCT queries, and graph lifecycle operations in XQuery and JavaScript.

Identity and Context Starter Pack

Who is actually running this, what they're allowed to do, and where it's happening

Twenty-two MarkLogic xdmp: functions that settle who is actually running this, what they're allowed to do, and where it's happening. Resolve users, roles, servers, and hosts with functions like xdmp:get-current-user(), xdmp:has-privilege(), and xdmp:role-get-default-permissions(), then check default permissions, external security, and login history - all with live-validated output in XQuery and JavaScript.

Optic Joins Starter Pack

Pick the right join shape before your plan becomes harder than the data

A live-data, tested guide to MarkLogic Optic joins using real llamaverse TDE rows. Compare inner, outer, existence, anti-existence, and cross-product joins, then explore op:join-inner equality keys, compound conditions, condition-only joins, and result-shape trade-offs in XQuery and JavaScript.

Database and Environment Starter Pack

Database identity, forest topology, and deliberate cross-database execution

Fifteen MarkLogic xdmp: functions covering database identity lookups, forest topology, special-purpose system databases, App Server-to-database mapping, and cross-database execution with xdmp:eval(), xdmp:invoke(), and xdmp:spawn(). Everything you need to know exactly where a query is running, and to deliberately run it somewhere else.
