Tough start - request for help #1993

We appreciate your feedback on BaseX. Please mind the following guidelines:

Maybe a feature request is in place here, first a request for direction.

Having to plow throw Microsoft Eventlogs and JSON log files i seek to use BaseX. Casual creating a database and loading a .evtx file which was converted into .xml first works well.

The problem i face is the XQuery syntax as casually documented on the portal does not work or makes sense for my queries.

I can only query the root element //Events which then returns the entire file as response. Providing a bit more newbie friendly documentation or pointers to suitable learning pages is most welcome.

Thanks for your support.

ps: In terms of a feature request, using jython it could be possible to make absorbind a .evtx files a possibility using one of available modules. Myself i use evtx_dump.py to export to .xml which is very fast and easy to use.

Thanks anyway. To be fair to my point for posting, the documenation is mostly redundant since it serves neither entry level, neither knowledgeable XQuery users. I do think baseX has great promise once i master some of it but the threshold for entry is extreme.
