``The XQuery implementation for
discriminating hackers''
Welcome to the Galax Website! Galax is an
open-source implementation of XQuery 1.0,
the W3C XML Query Language. Galax closely tracks the
definition of XQuery 1.0 as specified by the W3C and
also implements XPath 2.0, which is a subset of
XQuery 1.0.
We are working hard to make Galax fully
conformant with the XQuery specifications, but
also to make it an implementation which runs
fast and is fun to use!
Galax's primary goal was to serve as a reference
implementation for the XQuery 1.0 language, but it
has evolved quite a lot since the very first
prototype written by Jérôme at the beginning of
2003. We are now working on advanced XQuery features
(notably support for XML Schema validation),
support for XML updates, applications of
XQuery to Web services, and XQuery
optimization.
This site contains information about Galax, some
documentation, several on-line demos, and of course
downloads for the complete Galax system. Galax and
this Web site keep evolving so please come back
again soon. We hope that you enjoy your visit!
