About the guys behind BaseX.

Who We Are

  • We are a team of computer scientists and software architects living at the Lake Constance in the south of Germany.
  • Our vision is to make BaseX the most valuable framework for processing non-relational data.
  • We are proud and motivated to make BaseX as performant, 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

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. In 2011, we set up a company to facilitate the further development of BaseX and to provide a legal entity for commercial support, customized services, and training facilities.
