[Exist-open] exist interfaces

[Eduard D. <ed...@fr...>]

Dear all,

For our language resources I am developing (ejb/cdi) services behind a graphql interface. Data comes from several backends. Some of them already have ejb/cdi/jpa code and setup which I can easily reuse.

For exist I wonder how to connect to remote exist instances in an efficient, future proof way. I already have working queries that output json and can be called over https.

As far as I can see, these are my options:

1) https calls => overhead, but already there, optimized and perhaps fast enough
2) http://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/devguide_xmlrpc => expensive? old technology? maintained? json results supported?
3) http://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/devguide_xmldb.xml => promoted as the preferred way, sits on top of xmlrpc? json results supported?
4) http://xqj.net/: feel like the way to go for me, but is it alive?

Perhaps xmldb api is my best option, any thoughts or experiences on this subject would be welcome...

Regards, Eduard
