eXist-db
eXist-db is an open source database management system entirely
built on XML technology, also called a native XML database. Unlike most
relational database management systems, eXist uses XQuery to manipulate
its data.
eXist-db features efficient, index-based XQuery
processing, extensions for keyword search, XUpdate support, XSLT
support, XForms
support, REST and tight integration with existing XML development
tools.
eXist-db provides a complete platform for the development of
rich web applications based on XML and related technologies.
Features include:
- Schema-less Database - the native XML database
engine stores textual or binary data and documents without requiring a
database schema
- Rapid prototyping
- Application packages
- Browser-based IDE - allows managing and editing all
artifacts belonging to an application
- Forms framework - tight integration with XForms
- Transforming XML using XSLT
- Rich stack of libraries

repository
- REST API based on XQuery 3.0 Annotations

manages authentication realms (LDAP, OAuth, OpenID), managing
users and groups, changing passwords, and permissions and access
controls
- Automated Indexing of XML for faster addressing and
querying, including Full Text search
