The latest version of @PostmanClient now allows you to define your #API in the app. It even has a built-in @OpenAPISpec editor. This is huge blog.getpostman.com/2019/05/… #restapi #webdev #apis

The next in the series is online! "Using an external XML DB as a data source" zadean.github.io/xqerl/2019/… * Partially implemented function * Lazy evaluation * Callbacks * RESTXQ #XQuery 3.1 with #xqerl
The sun has got his hat on Hip hip hip hooray The sun has got his hat on and he’s coming out to play
Data in one place is great, but your customers need to access it! Take an API First approach with XQRS. Find out more. #MLW19

Fresh off the presses, the second in the series using #xqerl and #XQuery 3.1: "Getting some REST" zadean.github.io/xqerl/2019/… Thanks @fostercharles for the request. What should come next twitterverse?
Just found this BagriDB, never seen it before, looks like an XML Database that supports XQuery 3.1 + XQJ + RESTXQ. With high availability, horizontal scaling, fault tolerance, ACID Transactions, etc. RKO Outta Nowhere. Amazing I've never spotted it before bagridb.com/

Replying to @xqerl @EmmanuelOga
Since xqerl implements RESTXQ, users can define their own REST APIs using only XQuery. Some examples and how-to's will be coming soon.

The extradition of Julian Assange to the US for exposing evidence of atrocities in Iraq and Afghanistan should be opposed by the British government.

This man is a son, a father, a brother. He has won dozens of journalism awards. He's been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize every year since 2010. Powerful actors, including CIA, are engaged in a sophisticated effort to dehumanise, delegitimize and imprison him. #ProtectJulian
