This is particularly relevant if you are working with the [[Commands#GET|GET]] commandclient/server architecture. All values are * '''Local options'statically bound'' (all remaining ones) are specific to a database client or session; they stay valid until they are changed once again by another operation. If an option is of type boolean, and if no value is specified, its existing value will be inverted.
* The current value of an option can be requested with the {{Command|GET}} command. Local options can be changed via {{Command|SET}} (all global options, except for {{Option|DEBUG}}, can only be changed at startup time). If an option is of type ''boolean'', and if no value is specified, its current value will be inverted. * The {{Code|.basex}} [[Configuration#Configuration Files|configuration file]] is parsed by every new local BaseX instance. It contains all global options. Local options can be specified at the end of the file after the {{Code|Local Options}} comment: <pre class="brush:xqueryperl">declare option db:key 'value';# General OptionsDEBUG = false
...
# Local Options
CHOP = false
</pre>

The following query preserves whitespaces from the parsed XML stringspecified keys need to be prefixed with {{Code|org.basex.}}. An example:

</pre>
* In XQuery, local options can be set via option declarations and [[XQuery Extensions#Pragmas|pragmas]]. If options are implicitly changed by operations in the [[GUI]], the underlying commands will be listed in the [[GUI#Visualizations|Info View]].<br/> <br/> =Global Options= Global options are constants. They can only be set in the configuration file or via system properties (see above). One exception is the [[#debug|DEBUG]] option, which can also be changed at runtime by users with [[User Management|admin permissions]].

|Number Uses the internal XML parser instead of explicit consecutive garbage collections runs the standard Java XML parser. Here are some reasons for using the internal parser:* Performance: Documents (in particular small ones) will be parsed faster* Fault tolerance: invalid characters will automatically be replaced with the Unicode replacement character <code>FFFD</code> (�)* Entities: around 250 HTML entities will be detected and decodedYou will be able to be executed when memory gets low during correctly parse most XML documents with the construction internal parser. Java’s Xerces parser is still used as default, however, because it supports all features of index structuresthe XML standard and advanced DTD features, such as recursive entity expansion.
