BaseX is a native and light-weight XML database management system and XQuery processor, developed as a community project on GitHub.[3] It is specialized in storing, querying, and visualizing large XML documents and collections.[4] BaseX is platform-independent and distributed under the BSD-3-Clause license.[2]

In contrast to other document-oriented databases, XML databases provide support for standardized query languages such as XPath and XQuery. BaseX is highly conformant to World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) specifications[5][6] and the official Update and Full Text extensions. The included GUI enables users to interactively search, explore and analyze their data, and evaluate XPath/XQuery expressions in realtime (i.e., while the user types).
