Abstract

Today, it is needed to apply a set of heterogeneous technologies to implement every layer or element in a web application. These technologies must be combined and must work together. This one implies the need for heterogeneous development teams with heterogeneous formation and high costs in tools and formation. This work shows how XML with XQuery could be a valid technology to unify the technologies used in web development. This works shows how XML and XQuery is a valid selection to unify the used technologies in web development. Thus, it is possible decrease costs in tools and formation applying only one technology in web development. To justify why XML with XQuery is a valid technology to implement a whole system this work shows, at first time, the main characteristics of XQuery focused in web development. At second time, this work shows how to apply those characteristics in a web development and how to implement every layer or component of a web application with XQuery. Finally, this work exposes a brief overview about the open-source tools available to implement a web application with XQuery.
