That's awesome and exactly the sort of good fit for JSONiq that I
expected to be adopted by the JavaScript community.

I wondered in terms of JSONiq support whether it is possible to do
without IndexedDB, i.e. just be able to query JSON files and/or JSON
coming in over the http (via AJAX and WebSockets etc)?

Out of interest, regards Node.js, what do you use for the IndexedDB?

I wish you all the best with this project. I hope it gets the
attention it deserves from the JavaScript community. I will be
interested to see how it goes...
