BaseX 7.3 (The Summer Edition) is now available!

From the post:

we are glad to announce a great new release of BaseX, our XML database and XPath/XQuery 3.0 processor! Here are the latest features:

  • Many new internal XQuery Modules have been added, and existing ones have been revised to ensure long-term stability of your future XQuery applications
  • A new powerful Command API is provided to specify BaseX commands and scripts as XML
  • The full-text fuzzy index was extended to also support wildcard queries
  • The simple map operator of XQuery 3.0 gives you a compact syntax to process items of sequences
  • BaseX as Web Application can now start its own server instance
  • All command-line options will now be executed in the given order
  • Charles Foster’s latest XQJ Driver supports XQuery 3.0 and the Update and Full Text extensions

For those of you in the Northern Hemisphere, we wish you a nice summer! No worries, we’ll stay busy..

Just in time for the start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere!

Something you can toss onto your laptop before you head to the beach.

Err, huh? Well, even if you don’t take BaseX 7.3 to the beach, it promises to be good fun for the summer and more serious work should the occasion arise.

I count twenty-three (23) modules in addition to the XQuery functions specified by the latest XPath/XQuery 3.0 draft.

Just so you know, the BaseX database server listens to port 1984 by default.

BaseX

From the webpage:

BaseX is a very light-weight and high-performance XML database system and XPath/XQuery processor, including full support for the W3C Update and Full Text extensions. An interactive and user-friendly GUI frontend gives you great insight into your XML documents and collections.

To maximize your productivity and workflows, we offer professional support, tailor-made software solutions and individual trainings on XML, XQuery and BaseX. The product itself is completely Open Source (BSD-licensed) and platform independent. Join our mailing lists to get regular updates!

But most important: BaseX runs out of the box and is easy to use…

For those of us who don’t think documents, even XML documents, are all that weird. ;-)
