In their own words

BaseX

BaseX is a free, open-source XML database engine and XQuery processor for data-intensive web applications. It stores XML documents, binary data, and XQuery values, and handles XML, HTML, JSON, and CSV formats. Its XQuery 4.0 processor supports the W3C Update and Full Text extensions. You can operate it from the command line, in client/server mode, or through desktop and web interfaces. The graphical interface provides a query editor with syntax highlighting, keyword search, interactive visualizations, and server administration. RESTXQ supports building web applications with XQuery, while the server offers REST and WebDAV access to databases and resources. Concurrent reads, ACID-safe write transactions, user permissions, and secure authentication are supported. BaseX runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, with API and self-hosted deployment listed. Java 17 or higher is required, and Adoptium distributions are recommended. The BaseX plan costs nothing.
