arch:create-map

Returns a new archive with each of the given entries named as a key in $entries set to the corresponding value in $entries($key)('content').

create-map($entries as map(xs:string,map(xs:string,item()*))) ➔ xs:base64Binary

Arguments
	$entries	map(xs:string,map(xs:string,item()*))	The names of the entries required
Result		xs:base64Binary

create-map($entries as map(xs:string,map(xs:string,item()*)), $options as map(xs:string,item()*)) ➔ xs:base64Binary

Arguments
	$entries	map(xs:string,map(xs:string,item()*))	The names of the entries required
	$options	map(xs:string,item()*)	Options for the created archive
Result		xs:base64Binary

EXPath Archive Module

Saxon availability

Requires support for XPath 3.0 to be enabled. Implemented since Saxon 9.6. Requires Saxon-PE or Saxon-EE. Available for Java and C/C++ only (not .NET).

Notes on the Saxon implementation

Both signatures are supported since 9.8.0.5.

The entries are keyed by the (string) 'pathname' e.g. mimetype or net/sf/saxon/licence.xml. Each entry is a map (map(xs:string,item()?)) with the following key/value pairs:

Key		Type	Values	Meaning
content	required	xs:base64Binary		The actual content of the entry
compression	optional	xs:string	`stored`\|`deflate`	The compression method to use for this entry with two possible values: `stored` No compression (used for example with the mimetype entry in an EPUB3) `deflate` normal lossless zip compression The default is `deflate`.
position	optional	xs:integer	`1`	This entry must be placed first in the archive. This enables for example the mimetype entry in EPUB3 to be placed as required, as the first within the archive. It is an error if more than one entry makes such a declaration.

In the two-argument form $options provides a default set of options for each entry - currently the only meaningful key is compression with values as given above.
