C APIs can be used to perform the following operations:

• Obtain the number of XML documents that match search conditions
• Obtain the XML documents that match search conditions in a specified format
• Obtain all of a particular XML document
• Find XML documents that match search conditions and obtain the documents after they are sorted
• Obtain consecutive groups of XML documents that match search conditions
