Elemental is a high-performance native XML database and application platform designed for storing, querying, and processing structured documents. It provides a NoSQL architecture built around XML technologies rather than traditional relational tables. The database supports XQuery for retrieving and manipulating information stored in XML collections. XSLT integration enables developers to transform XML documents into different structures and presentation formats. Originating from the eXist-db codebase, Elemental provides a foundation for XML-centric applications and document management systems. Its architecture supports structured data processing and reusable application logic. Developers can deploy the platform through downloadable distributions or Docker containers. The project follows a Fair Source licensing model and provides access to its source code.
