15.35 WRITE Procedure Signature 6

This procedure writes an array attribute of type sys.xmltype. The procedure uses a XSL transformation to generate JSON. To determine the JSON type of values, it uses the following rules:

  • If the value is empty, it generates a NULL value.

  • If upper(value) is TRUE, it generates a boolean true value.

  • If upper(value) is FALSE, it generates a boolean false value.

  • If the XPath number function returns TRUE, it emits the value as is. Otherwise, it enquotes the value (that is, treats it as a JSON string).
