create_xdm_dict(proc, mmap)

Function to create a dictionary of pairs of type (PyXdmAtomicValue, PyXdmValue) from primitive types.

Parameters:

• proc (PySaxonProcessor) – PySaxonProcessor object required to create PyXdmValue objects from primitive types

• mmap (dict) – The dict of key-value pairs to convert

Returns:

Dictionary of (PyXdmAtomicValue, PyXdmValue) pairs

Return type:

dict

Example

Creating an XDM Map with string keys and Integer atomic values:

from saxoncee import *
with PySaxonProcessor(license=False) as saxonproc:
    mymap = {"a":saxonproc.make_integer_value(1),
            "b":saxonproc.make_integer_value(2),
            "c":saxonproc.make_integer_value(3)}
    xdmdict = create_xdm_dict(saxonproc, mymap)
    map = saxonproc.make_map(xdmdict)

Raises:

PySaxonApiError – Failure in constructing the dict
