Open Source

Open source software lives only at the behest of its community. Every piece of feedback provides us with invaluable information, no matter if it's a bug report, a feature request or a call for assistance.

BaseX has been an open source product since 2005, under the terms of the 3-clause BSD License. It will remain open source, regardless of any commercial activities. – If you like BaseX and want to keep the development up and running, please consider a donation.

Getting Started
