Hi Martin<div>As I live a bit in Django and BaseX world, this question hit my nerves.</div><div>I have never tried it together, but at least have some feeling about how it could come togehter or not.</div><div><br></div><div>
<div>There is some eXist db lib for Django: <a href="https://techknowhow.library.emory.edu/blogs/sturnbu/2011/06/22/django-libraries-xml-and-exist-db">https://techknowhow.library.emory.edu/blogs/sturnbu/2011/06/22/django-libraries-xml-and-exist-db</a> and I am sure, it could be adapted for BaseX too.</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>Quick search found one short one-man discussion about using it: <a href="https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=9868913">https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=9868913</a> </div>
<div><br></div><div>Anyway, I woudl give one warning: It would be better to learn Python and Django and XQuery in BaseX first, one by one. Maybe adding SQL in SQlite. All of the technologies are very powerfull and are proved platforms. Experimenting with exotic solutions (Django - XQuery mix) could be some fun later on.</div>
<div><br></div><div>But I have to admit, I did similar (in different area) crazy experiments in past myself, so I have understandig for &quot;it must be possible&quot; approach.</div><div><br></div><div>Good luck</div><div>

Are there any folks out there who have used Django with BaseX?<br>
<br>
I&#39;m a not very computer competent humanities scholar who knows a little<br>
Python, which is useful for this and that, has some xquery (not a whole<br>
lot but learning) and thinks that Django would be a good choice for some<br>
version of an MVC framework, partly because the documentation is quite<br>
good, but also because it would help me keep up with Python, which I use<br>
anyhow. I don&#39;t want to learn php or any other scripting language because<br>
one language is enough or too much for my aging brain.<br>
<br>
Is this a scenario to which somebody can relate or is it out of nowhere?<br>
