I noticed in the docs that BaseX currently does not support any form of XML Schema validation. Are there any plans to implement this, and in which timeframe? I'd especially be interested in requiring validation for a database, so that BaseX refuses to store documents that do not conform to an XMLSchema.
Don't worry, I understand this is open-source and free and all, I just want to know what the plans are :)
Support for XML Schema is currently out of scope due to other classical database features (incremental indexes, recovery issues, etc); but I agree that schema validation would surely be attractive. As some Open Source features in BaseX have been picked up pace by commercial projects, our focus is shifting now and then, so I can't tell yet what we'll be up to in 6 or 12 months.
