Is there any XQuery API ?

Hi,

I’m looking now for a XQuery API, I don’t mean XQJ, which is defined in JSR 225.
What I mean is, an API which help the programmer to generate the xquery, because the xquery syntax (FLWR) is complex.

I think in SQL, there are many implementation like this, e.g. iBatis, TopLink, etc.
