Changes

The following Java code snippets demonstrate how easy it is to run database commands, create collections, perform queries, etc. via by integrating the BaseX APIcode. Most examples are taken from our [https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex-examples/tree/master/basex-examples/src/main/java/org/basex/examples / basex-examples] repository, in which you will find some more use cases. Note that we recommend everyone to use our own APIs, as they offer better performance and are better supported by our core team. The use of the <code>XML:DB</code> and <code>XQJ</code> APIs is discouraged: as these APIs do not utilize the client/server architecture of BaseX, their use may lead to conflicting database access operations.

The following code snippets work in ''embedded'' mode;[httpsthey do not rely on an additional server instance://github.com/BaseXdb/basex-examples/blob/master/src/main/java/org/basex/examples/query/CreateCollection.java CreateCollection.java]:creates and manages a collection.
