Compare the Top XML Databases as of April 2025

What are XML Databases?

XML databases are a type of database that stores, manages, and retrieves data in the XML (Extensible Markup Language) format. These databases are designed to handle semi-structured data, where data is stored in a tree-like structure using tags, making it more flexible than traditional relational databases. XML databases support querying and manipulating XML data using specialized languages such as XPath, XQuery, and XML Schema. They are commonly used in applications that require complex data structures, such as content management systems, document storage, and web services. XML databases allow for efficient handling of large and dynamic datasets while maintaining the hierarchical relationships between elements, making them suitable for applications that need to store and retrieve structured or semi-structured data efficiently.

    OrigoDB enables you to build high quality, mission critical systems with real-time performance at a fraction of the time and cost. This is not marketing gibberish! Please read on for a no nonsense description of our features. Get in touch if you have questions or download and try it out today! In-memory operations are orders of magnitude faster than disk operations. A single OrigoDB engine can execute millions of read transactions per second and thousands of write transactions per second with synchronous command journaling to a local SSD. This is the #1 reason we built OrigoDB. A single object oriented domain model is far simpler than the full stack including a relational model, object/relational mapping, data access code, views and stored procedures. That's a lot of waste that can be eliminated! The OrigoDB engine is 100% ACID out of the box. Commands execute one at a time, transitioning the in-memory model from one consistent state to the next.
