ArxivQuery

public struct ArxivQuery : Codable
extension ArxivQuery: CustomStringConvertible
extension ArxivQuery: ArxivRequest

Specifies search criteria for arXiv request.

ArxivQuery represents either a search term in specified article field, a date intervarl in which desired articles were published or updated or an arXive subject.

Queries can be combined to construct arbitrarily complex queries by using all and any combinators. It is also possible to exclude articles matching a query by using excluding combinator.

  • Used to restrict term search to specific article field.

    To search given term in any field, use ArxivQuery.Field.any.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public struct Field : Codable

  • Returns a string representation of the query.

    var string: String { get }

Global Functions Used For Query Expressions

  • Returns a new query for retrieving the articles matching the query AND NOT the provided subqueries.

    Semantics of the returned query is to exclude the articles matching all of the provided subqueries. In other words, .excluding { q1; q2; q3 } is equivalent to .excluding { all { q1; q2; q3 } }. Use .excluding { any { q1; q2; q3; } } to exclude the articles mathing any of the subqueries.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func excluding(@ArxivQueryBuilder _ queries: () -> [ArxivQuery]) -> ArxivQuery

    Parameters

    queries

    A query builder that creates list of subqueries to exclude.

  • Declaration

    Swift

    public var description: String { get }

  • Returns ArxivRequestSpecification(query: self).

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var requestSpecification: ArxivRequestSpecification { get }

  • Creates a request for retrieving the articles matching the query and belonging to provided ID list.

    To retrieve a specific version of an article, end the corresponding ID with vN suffix where N is the desired version number. If an identifier without the suffix is provided, the most recent version will be retrieved. ArxivEntry type has properties for getting the version and versioned IDs of the corresponing article.
