Java Examples
This page is part of the Developer Section. The following Java code snippets demonstrate how easy it is to run database commands, create collections, perform queries, etc. via the BaseX API. Most examples are taken from our 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 XML:DB
and XQJ
APIs is discouraged: as these APIs do not utilize the client/server architecture of BaseX, their use may lead to conflicting database access operations.
