XQilla XQuery Engine

Oracle has contributed the XQilla XQuery engine code, an embeddable XQuery engine for developers building XML-based applications, under the open source Apache 2.0 license. For applications requiring XQuery and an XML document repository, Oracle has also integrated the XQilla XQuery engine within Oracle Berkeley DB XML, the embeddable, open source XML database.

The XQilla XQuery engine, an implementation of the XQuery 1.0 standard published by the W3C, enables developers to query XML data, similar to SQL for relational data. Developers can use the XQilla XQuery engine in commercial and open source applications at no cost, modify and improve it, as well as distribute it in binary and source code form.
