xml-xindice - Xindice native XML database
- Description:
Apache Xindice is a database designed from the ground up to
store XML data or what is more commonly referred to as a
native XML database.
The benefit of a native solution is that you don't have to
worry about mapping your XML to some other data structure.
You just insert the data as XML and retrieve it as XML. You
also gain a lot of flexibility through the semi-structured
nature of XML and the schema independent model used by Xindice.
This is especially valuable when you have very complex XML
structures that would be difficult or impossible to map to a
more structured database.
At the present time Xindice uses XPath for its query language
and XML:DB XUpdate for its update language. We provide an
implementation of the XML:DB API for Java development and it
is possible to access Xindice from other languages using built
in XML-RPC API. As standards in the XML database area mature
Xindice will include support for those that are most important.
