XQuery is a much higher-level interface to XML than the DOM API. As such,
the main benefit is that you can do the processing in a fraction of the
number of lines of code. Which means faster development and fewer errors.
When comparing performance, it tends to be the case that the performance of
a high-level language is as good as an average programmer using lower-level
APIs, but not as good as a first-rate expert.
