Meet the Team.

The guys behind BaseX.

Our Mission

  • We want to make BaseX the most valuable framework for processing flexible data.
  • We are proud and motivated to make BaseX as high performing, reliable and useful to our users as we can.
  • We are excited to see BaseX applied to so many different areas of production and usage scenarios.
  • We have a common history at the University of Konstanz and we all centered our academic work around BaseX.

Short History

In 2005, BaseX started as an offspring of the Database and Information Systems Group at the University of Konstanz and soon turned into a feature rich XML Database engine and XPath/XQuery Processor. BaseX as Open Source project brought us valuable users, who motivated the founding of a startup. Since 2012, the BaseX GmbH has been providing commercial support, customized services and training facilities, and has been fostering the further development of BaseX.
