Welcome! I have not used exist, but I can share my history. I used sedna for many years. When development stopped I looked for alternatives. I have read many comparisons in WWW andI have found basex.
A detailed benchmark of basex and others: https://bbddxml.wordpress.com/2014/01/08/un-benchmark-para-nuestras-bases-de.... If you know xmark, it is most important and most cited benchmark for xml. I have run these tests also (for Sedna and basex), and published results are close.
In basex I notice that writing xml result to files is very fast. Also query and indexes optimisation is very clever (pues, more clever than me), sometimes only few miliseconds for gigabytes of xml. And basex has excelent support for official w3C standards (Fulltext, Update, all of Xquery 3.1. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_database). And very stable.
I have used berkeley in early times, it was very slow.
One question to the team: Can you include replication feature?
Best regards Julio
Hola Julio,
Thanks for your observations.
One question to the team: Can you include replication feature?
Right now, we cannot offer an OOTB replication mechanism for BaseX, but we have integrated replication for our commercial costumers. Feel free to contact us in private if you are interested in more details (and feel free to check out our research papers on replication and map/reduce on the web site [1]).
Cheers, Christian
