String Parsing Functions
String parsing functions convert between XML text and nodes, and serialize sequences back to text.| parse-xml("<a>Hello <b>World</b></a>") | Creates an XML document from an XML string and returns its root node. |
| parse-xml-fragment("I say<a>Hello <b>World</b></a>") | Creates an XML fragment from a string and returns its root node. Unlike parse-xml(), this does not raise an error even though the input is not well-formed XML on its own (it has no single root element). |
| serialize(1 to 3) | Returns a serialized string representation of the sequence, with items separated by a single space. |
