This page is part of the Developer Section. It describes how to use BaseX from other programming languages.

With the following light-weight bindings in different programming languages, you will be able to connect to a running BaseX server instance, execute database commands, perform queries or listen to events. Most clients offer the following two classes:

  • Standard Mode: connecting to a server, sending commands
  • Query Mode: defining queries, binding variables, iterative evaluation

Please have a look at our Server Protocol for more information on the clients and the underlying protocol.
Bindings for other languages are easy to write; your contributions are welcome.

Currently, we offer bindings for the following programming languages:

Object oriented
C#, VB, Scala, Java
Scala: contributed by Manuel Bernhardt
ActionScript: contributed by Manfred Knobloch
Scripting
Perl
PHP (example)
Python 3.x, 2.7.3: contributed by Hiroaki Itoh
Python < 2.7: improved by Arjen van Elteren
Rebol: contributed by Sabu Francis
Ruby
Functional
Haskell: contributed by Leo Wörteler
Lisp: contributed by Andy Chambers
Others
node.js: contributed by Andy Bunce
node.js: contributed by Hans Hübner (deviating from client API)
Qt: contributed by Hendrik Strobelt
C

Many of the interfaces contain the following files:

  • BaseXClient contains the code for creating a session, sending and executing commands and receiving results. An inner Query class facilitates the binding of external variables and iterative query evaluation.
  • Example demonstrates how to send database commands.
  • QueryExample shows you how to evaluate queries in an iterative manner.
  • QueryBindExample shows you how to bind a variable to your query and evaluates the query in an iterative manner.
  • CreateExample shows how new databases can be created by using streams.
  • AddExample shows how documents can be added to a database by using streams.
  • EventExample demonstrates how to watch and unwatch Events.
