Hi,
Can we use basex for processing streaming xml. If yes, how?. The idea being:
- Create a ramdisk/ram drive having size of about 10GB.
- load the file into ram drive.
- Use basex to stream the xml file during xquery evaluation.
Once data is extracted from the xml file, the xml file will be deleted. Since this activity is transient in nature, the creation of xml database can be avoided.
Regards
Nesh

Dear Nesh,
sorry for letting you wait.
As BaseX has been optimized for database operations, it may not be the best choice for streaming data. If creating a database is no reasonable option, you could check out the commercial version of Saxon [1] or have a look at Zorba’s XML Module [2].
Hope this helps,
Christian

Written for BaseX 7.6. BaseX may have changed since: please check the current documentation.
