Welcome to the Query Portal, which is one of the [[Main Page|Main Sections]] of this documentation. BaseX provides an implementation of the W3 [http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-30/ XPath] and [http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-30 XQuery] languages, which are tightly coupled with the underlying database store. High conformance with the official specifications is one of our main objectives, as the results of the [http://dev.w3.org/2006/xquery-test-suite/PublicPagesStagingArea/XQTSReportSimple_XQTS_1_0_2.html XQuery Test Suite] demonstrate. This section contains general information on the query processor and its numerous extensions.

==Features==
 
* [[XQuery 3.0]]: supported features of the upcoming [http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-30/ XQuery 3.0] Recommendation
 
* [[Full-Text]]: XPath/XQuery Full Text extends the language with powerful retrieval features.
 
* [[Updates]]: databases can be modified via the XQuery Update extension
 
* [[Java Bindings]]: how to access and call Java code from XQuery
 
* [[Packaging]]: embedding of external function modules, based on the [http://expath.org/modules/pkg/ EXPath Packaging System]
 
* [[XQuery Errors|Errors]]: errors raised by XQuery expressions
 
* [[Serialization]]: serialization parameters supported by BaseX
 
 
 
==Modules==
 
 
 
Beside the standard [http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions-30/ XQuery Functions], BaseX offers additional function modules, which are listed in the following table.
 
All modules are statically bound, which means that they need not (but may) be explicitly declared in the query prolog.
