What is eXist?
eXist-db is a high-performance open source native XML database and application platform built entirely around XML technologies. It serves as a NoSQL document database specifically designed for storing, querying, and processing XML data, providing a complete environment for XML-centric application development. The platform solves the problem of efficiently managing XML documents at scale while maintaining their native structure and enabling powerful querying capabilities.
Developers and organizations working with XML-intensive applications, such as digital humanities projects, publishing systems, archival repositories, and government data systems. It's particularly valuable for teams that need a dedicated database solution for XML data rather than adapting relational databases.
Developers choose eXist-db because it offers native XML storage and processing without the overhead of XML-to-relational mapping, combined with a complete application platform. Its unique selling point is being a fully integrated solution specifically built for XML technologies, providing better performance and developer experience for XML-centric projects compared to general-purpose databases.
