* By default, if the value is set to {{Code|0}}, some heuristics are applied, based on the current memory consumption. Usually, this works fine. If explicit garbage collection is disabled when running Java (e.g. via the JVM option {{Code|-XX:+DisableExplicitGC}}), you may need to choose a custom split size.

* 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 classsyntaxhighlight lang="brush:perl">
# General Options
DEBUG = false
# Local Options
CHOP = false
</presyntaxhighlight>
* Initial values for global options can also be specified via system properties, which can e.g. be passed on with the [httphttps://docs.oracle.com/javaseen/1.4.2java/docsjavase/tooldocs11/windowstools/java.html#options -D flag] on command line, or using [httphttps://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/611/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/System.html#setProperty(java.lang.String,%20javajava.lang.String) System.setProperty()] before creating a BaseX instance. The specified keys need to be prefixed with {{Code|org.basex.}}. An example:
<pre classsyntaxhighlight lang="brush:xqueryperl">
java -Dorg.basex.CHOP=false -cp basex.jar org.basex.BaseX -c"get chop"
CHOP: false
</presyntaxhighlight>
* If using the Mac OS X packaged application then global options can be set within the Info.plist file within the Contents folder of the application package. For example:
<pre classsyntaxhighlight lang="brush:xml">
<key>JVMOptions</key>
<array>
<string>-Dorg.basex.CHOP=false</string>
</array>
</presyntaxhighlight>
* In a [[Web Application]], the default can be adjusted in the {{Code|web.xml}} file as follows:
<pre classsyntaxhighlight lang="brush:xml">
<context-param>
<param-name>org.basex.chop</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</context-param>
</presyntaxhighlight>
* In XQuery, local options can be set via option declarations and [[XQuery Extensions#Pragmas|pragmas]].

| '''Summary'''
|Defines a [[Parsers|parser]] for importing new files to the database. Available parsers are {{Code|XML}}, {{Code|JSON}}, {{Code|CSV}}, {{Code|TEXT}}, {{Code|HTML}}, and {{Code|HTMLRAW}}. HTML input will be parsed as normal XML files documents if [[Parsers#HTML_Parser|Tagsoup]] is not found in the classpath.

|-
| '''Summary'''
|Many XML documents include whitespaces that have been added to improve readability. This option controls the [httphttps://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-white-space white-space processing mode] of the XML parser:
* With the default value {{Code|true}}, leading and trailing whitespaces from text nodes will be chopped and all empty text nodes will be discarded.
* The flag should be turned off if a document contains [[Full-Text#Mixed Content|mixed content]].
In the following example document, the whitespaces in the text nodes of the {{Code|text}} element will not be chopped:
<pre classsyntaxhighlight lang="brush:xml">
<xml>
<title>
<text xml:space="preserve">To <b>be</b>, or not to <b>be</b>, that is the question.</text>
</xml>
</presyntaxhighlight>
It is recommendable to additionally assign <code>indent=no</code> to the {{Option|SERIALIZER}} option; otherwise the serialized documents will automatically be indented.

* By default, if the value is set to {{Code|0}}, some heuristics are applied, based on the current memory consumption. Usually, this works fine.
* If explicit garbage collection is disabled when running Java (e.g. via the JVM option {{Code|-XX:+DisableExplicitGC}}), you may need to choose a custom split size.
* You can e. g. start with {{Code|1000000}} (one million) index operations and adjust this value in the next steps.
* The larger the assigned value is, the less splits will take place, and the more main memory will be required.

| '''Summary'''
|Allows queries to both contain updating and non-updating expressions. All updating constraints will be turned off, and nodes to be returned will be copied before they are modified by an updating expression. – By default, in compliance with the XQuery Update Facility, this option is set to {{Code|false}}, because the XQuery Update Facility does not allow an updating query to .

* Commas in values must be duplicated.
* Variables may optionally be introduced with a leading dollar sign.

If you always use {{Function|Database|db:open}} to access databases, it is recommendable to disable this option:* No locks will be created for the two functions (see [[Transaction Management#Limitations|limitations of database locking]] for more details).* Access to local and external resources will be faster, as the database lookup will be skipped.
