Re: [expath] EXPath: MongoDB Module?

The problem I have with a mongo module is that it is very specific to one
system. I would rather see more general purpose modules. For example, if my
xmldb suddenly grew to support native json... is it still mongo, I don't
think so.

I would rather see a module focused on access to json data sources (or
better yet, with a wider focus).
