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. Compare and read user reviews of the best XML Databases currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.

Flexter
Sonra Intelligence
Flexter requires no coding skills and is a totally automated way to un-silo industry-standard XML data and convert it into a readable database. Whatever sector you operate in, industry data standards “warehouse” the data in formats that need unpacking before you can interpret and analyse it meaningfully. Flexter is unique in data management and data warehousing software in that it completely automates the process of data conversion. In insurance, finance, healthcare, travel, and retail, this is particularly common, with slow, laborious and expensive processes for accessing and analysing your critical data. That slows down the flow of information that data analysts need and, higher up the chain, it impacts important decision-making. Flexter changes all that, freeing your time and budget up to focus on providing real value to the business and getting your data rapidly into a readable and analysable database format. - 10
Sonic XML Server
Progress Technologies
Sonic XML Server ™ is a set of high-speed processing, storage and query services for XML documents required to manage Sonic ESB operational data. By processing XML messages in native XML format, XML Server is very fast and does not place restrictions on the XML message schema. The advent of Extensible Markup Language (XML), a true hardware and software independent data format, was a revolutionary step forward. Because XML describes information independently of a specific system or application data formatting rules, XML is a key technology for supporting flexible exchange of heterogeneous data. However, this flexibility can take a lot of time and resources to process the XML format. Sonic XML Server provides fast processing of operational data and storage of XML messages required to efficiently implement a service-oriented architecture. Sonic XML Server extends and enhances Sonic ESB's XML message processing model by providing native query, storage and processing services. - 11
