=head1 NAME

 XML::eXistDB - handle the eXist pure XML database

=head1 INHERITANCE

 XML::eXistDB
   is a XML::Compile::Cache
   is a XML::Compile::Schema
   is a XML::Compile

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 # You want to talk to eXist via a protocol. Read that manpage
 use XML::eXistDB::RPC;
 my $db = XML::eXistDB::RPC->new(...);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

There are many database which support XML and Xquery. Quite a number of
them translate XML into tables and Xquery into SQL statements. The eXist
database however, is a pure XML/Xquery database.
Website: F<http://exist-db.org>

The C<XML::eXistDB> distribution contains the following modules:

=over 4

=item . C<XML::eXistDB> focuses on processing eXist (configuration) files

=item . C<XML::eXistDB::Util> contains convenience functions and constants

=item . C<XML::eXistDB::RPC> implements the large XML-RPC API to speak to an eXist daemon

=back

The "REST" API for eXist is very different from the XML-RPC API, so there
is no chance on a common base-class. The XML-RPC API is probably quite close
to the XML:DB standard, but for the moment, no attempts are made to unify
the implementation to facilitate different XML databases back-ends.
