Top-of-the-post props go out to Colleen, David, and Ryan who made it happen.<\/p>\n<p>You might already know that MarkLogic Server is a super-powerful database slash search engine powering projects like <a title=\"MarkMail\" href=\"http:\/\/markmail.org\">MarkMail<\/a>. (But did you know there&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/developer.marklogic.com\/download\/\">free<\/a>-as-in-beer edition?) The next step is to make it easier to use and build your own apps on top of the server.<\/p>\n<p>The first big piece is the Search API, which lets you do &#8220;Google-style&#8221; searches over your content like this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>search:search(&#8220;MP3 OR iPod AND color:black -Zune&#8221;)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The built-in grammar includes AND, OR, parens for grouping, &#8211; for negation, quotations for phrases, and easy ways to define facets like date:today or author:&#8221;Bill Shakespeare&#8221; or GPA:3.95. By passing in additional options, you can redefine the grammar and control all aspects of the search and how the results are returned. Numerous grass-roots efforts at doing someting like this had begun to spring up, so the time was right to come out with an officially-sanctioned API. For those developers who haven&#8217;t seen the light yet and don&#8217;t fancy XQuery, an API like this is a huge benefit.<\/p>\n<p>The next piece builds on the Search API to offer a graphical App Builder tool that produces a simplified MarkMail-type app around your content. It looks like this:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2572\/3660922169_781bcd3962.jpg\" alt=\"App Builder screen shot, Search page\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The App Builder itself is based on XForms via the excellent <a href=\"http:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/xsltforms\/\">XSLTForms<\/a> library and REST, making it a full-blown XRX application.<\/p>\n<p>Lots more info, videos, screencasts, articles, and more are coming soon.<\/p>\n<p>You can start playing with this now by visiting the download page. Under the Community License, you can put 10 gigs of content into it for noncommercial production free-as-in-beer.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!
