Inspiration

VSCode

This project was created from a fork of DotJoshJohnson/vscode-xml. Some of the DotJoshJohnson code dealing with XML has been removed and additional XQuery features added.

XQuery parsing

The code parsing uses quodatum/xqlint which a fork of wcandillon/xqlint. These both make use of Gunther Rademacher's REx Parser Generator.
