Hello BaseX team,
I'm building a C# application, I'm using Rest APIs, how can I test if a database exists or not when I launch my application, and create necessary db/files when they are missing ?
Thanks, Ramzi

I don't know if this is the best way. To test if a database exists, I simply send a GET request to https://<host>:<port>/<context>/rest/<database> and check the response status code. A 200 OK response indicates that the database exists and a 404 Not Found response means that the database doesn't exists. Similarly, I send a GET request to https://<host>:<port>/<context>/rest/<database>/<file> and test the response status to test if a file exists.
