can xquery be run practically from the CLI?

问题

How is this sample xquery executed from the CLI?

xquery version "1.0";
let $message := 'Hello World!'
return
<results>
   <message>{$message}</message>
</results>

Inspired from zx485's answer:

Check the separate libxslt page

XSL Transformations, is a language for transforming XML documents into other XML documents (or HTML/textual output).

A separate library called libxslt is available implementing XSLT-1.0 for libxml2. This module "libxslt" too can be found in the Gnome SVN base.

You can check the progresses on the libxslt Changelog.

You can do it with Saxon like in this extensive tutorial.

To summarize it, copy the XQuery code to a file (here named test.xq) and then execute it with (the current version of) Saxon:

java -cp saxon9he.jar net.sf.saxon.Query test.xq

The output in your sample case would be

<results>
    <message>Hello World!</message>
</results>

as desired.
