About:
eXist-db is an open-source NoSQL database management system and application server built entirely around XML technology. It implements XQuery and XPath standards to store, query, and manipulate XML documents with high performance. The platform provides a robust environment for developing and deploying native XML applications, web services, and content management systems.
Key Features:
  • Native XML storage and indexing with XQuery 3.1 support
  • Built-in application server with WebDAV, REST, and XML-RPC interfaces
  • Full-text search capabilities with advanced ranking and stemming
  • ACID transaction support and automatic crash recovery
  • Java-based with cross-platform compatibility
Use Cases:
  • Content management systems and digital publishing platforms
  • Document-centric applications requiring complex XML processing
  • Enterprise data integration and data exchange hubs
  • Native XML application development and deployment
Alternatives:
  • BaseX – Lightweight XML database with similar XQuery support, but fewer built-in application services
  • MarkLogic – Enterprise-grade XML database with enhanced security features, but commercial licensing
  • MongoDB – General-purpose NoSQL database with JSON storage, but lacks native XML standards support
