Welcome to the Query Portal, which is one of the main sections of the documentation. Here your find more information on performing XPath and XQuery requests. Apart from standard features, BaseX offers numerous extensions, which are listed on this page.

Extensions

Functions

  • Database: Database-related functions
    Prefix: db; URI: http://basex.org/db
  • Full Text: Full-text functions
    Prefix: ft; URI: http://basex.org/ft
  • Utility Functions: Testing and profiling functions
    Prefix: util; URI: http://basex.org/util
  • File Functions: functions for file handling
    Prefix: file; URI: http://basex.org/file
  • HTTP Functions (http): Full-text functions, based on the EXPath HTTP Client Module
    Prefix: http; URI: http://expath.org/ns/http-client
  • Math Functions: functions for mathematical operations, extending the official W3C Recommendation
    Prefix: math; URI: http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/math

Note that all namespace URIs are statically bound in BaseX, i.e., they need not be declared in the query prolog. A complete list of the standard XQuery 3.0 functions is found in the Official W3C Specification.

Indexes

Queries will be analyzed and optimized for index access on the fly.
