Apache VXQuery
Apache VXQuery (Versatile XQuery) will be a standards compliant XML Query processor implemented in Java.
- We believe that there exists a strong (and growing) need to process semi-structured data in many applications.
- The W3C standardized v1.0 of the XML Query Language in early 2007.
- Since then, a few processors have surfaced (both commercial and open source).
- VXQuery will implement this standard.
+ The focus is on the evaluation of queries on large amounts of XML data.
+ Specifially the goal is to evaluate queries on large collections of relatively small XML documents.
+ To achieve this queries will be evaluated on a cluster of shared nothing machines.
- VXQuery plans to be the glue that brings together imperative programming in Java and declarative programming in XQuery.
- The project would enable developers to use XQuery to navigate and transform application objects declaratively in Java applications with minimal overhead.
- In the VXQuery project we plan to build an implementation that allows users to run declarative XQueries on arbitrary object models.
- Existing XQuery engines execute queries by translating the user data into some form of XML Object model.
- With VXQuery, we take the opposing view - Translate the query to work natively on the user's object model.
- In addition, VXQuery works on top of different XML representations including DOM, Stax, and a space optimized model motivated by Xalan's DTM (Document Table Model).
- VXQuery will also provide a library that allows application developers to express declarative queries without the need to learn a new syntax. We believe that this will speed up the adoption process.
+ There are lots of large colletions of relatively small documents like e.g. the EDGAR dataset [1] or the OpenStreetMap dataset.
+ However there are no XQuery processors available today that are capable of handling these datasets and making this contained information accessible.
* Incubation Disclaimer
-
\ No newline at end of file
+ Apache VXQuery is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software
+ Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache XMLBeans PMC.
+ Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review
+ indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making
+ process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF
+ projects.
+ While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness
+ or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be
+ fully endorsed by the ASF.
