# You can start BaseX as a standalone [[Command-Line Client]] if you prefer to work on command-line line and in the terminal, or want to do batch processing.# The [[Database Server]] is the right choice if you have multiple users or clients, or if you use other programming languages and if you don’t require HTTP services, and if you tend to communicate with BaseX on a technical level.

BaseX can also be embedded as a library in your applications. ==Concurrent Operations== If you want to perform parallel (concurrent) read and write operations has been tested on your databasesnumerous platforms, you must use the client/server architecture or run BaseX as a web application. You can safely open a database in different JVMs including Windows (Java virtual machines2000, XP, Vista, 7, 10, 11) for read-only access, and you will not encounter any problems when reading from and writing to different databasesMac OS X (10. Update operations from different JVMs to the same database will be rejected or may even lead to corrupt databasesx , 11. For examplex), if you only read dataLinux (SuSE xxx, you can easily run several clients (standaloneDebian, Redhat, GUICentOS, database clientsUbuntu) in paralleland OpenBSD (up to 7. If you update your data, however, you shouldn’t use the GUI or a standalone instance at the same timex). More details It is platform-independent and runs on concurrency can be found on the [[Transaction Management]] pageany system supporting Java.
