eXist
- Share to:
As it turns out, this is quite a difficult question to answer. The problem lies in the wide audience that eXist serves. eXist is many things to many people, and thus there is no single succinct answer. eXist is an open source piece of software written in Java that is freely available in both source code and binary form. eXist has always been made available under the Lesser GNU Public License (LGPL), version 2.1. While eXist makes use of many other open source libraries itself, all of these are compatible with the LGPL, and eXist eschews the GPL license in favor of freedom of choice for its users. eXist was conceived as a native XML database. As a database, its unit of atomicity is the document, so we could very easily brand it a NoSQL document database. How‐ ever, to do so would be to do an injustice to the software, and worse, to all of those who have contributed to making eXist much more than just a NoSQL database over the years.
