BaseX is a native and compact XML database management system that is being developed as a community project on GitHub. It is mainly used for the storage, query and visualization of large XML documents and collections. BaseX is platform-independent and is offered under a permissive open source license ( BSD ).
In contrast to other document- oriented databases, most XML databases support standardized query languages such as XPath and XQuery . BaseX offers a high level of standard conformity to the corresponding W3C recommendations and the official update and full-text extensions. The integrated graphical user interface enables interactive exploration and analysis of the data and the interactive execution of XPath / XQuery expressions.
Technologies
- XPath query language
- XPath / XQuery 3.1
- XQuery Update Facility (W3C)
- XPath / XQuery Full Text (W3C)
- Support of most of the EXPath / EXQuery modules and the packaging system
- Client-server architecture with user administration and transaction management
- APIs: RESTXQ, REST , WebDAV , XML: DB, XQJ; Java, C #, Perl, PHP, Python and other languages
- Supported data formats: XML , HTML , JSON , CSV , text , binary data
- Graphical user interface with hierarchical visualizations: Treemap , tabular display, tree view , scatter diagram
Database layout
BaseX uses a tabular representation of tree structures for the storage of XML documents. A database can contain both individual documents and collections of documents. The XPath accelerator coding and the staircase join operator serve as the basis for accelerating XPath localization steps. In addition, BaseX has numerous index structures that accelerate the query speed of path operations, attribute and text comparisons and full-text searches.
history
BaseX was launched in 2005 by Christian Grün at the University of Konstanz . BaseX has been open source since 2007 and is available under the BSD license .
