[basex-talk] Working with embedded databases

I have a project using an embedded Base-X db that I access through application code. I want to view this information using the Base-X GUI.

Currently, I use a REST interface to output the entire database as one large XML file. Then I import that file into Base-X using the GUI so that I can run queries on it with the benefits the GUI brings.

But this process is cumbersome and is getting downright unwieldy as the size of the db grows.

Is there a way to open the .basex files directly in the GUI to avoid this intermediate step?

Thanks!

Chas.
