Hello, I'm planning on writing a RSS Feed Aggregator with a team, but I'm wondering what XML Database we should use. The server currently runs IIS 6.0 with PHP 5.3.0 x64, I understand already that I need both a server application and a PHP extension.
What I've discovered already:
- Galax
- Have previously used this at university, but I can't find information about it on google, it tends to show information about something else named Galax or the Galaxy...
- eXist
- Together with Phexist this seems like a last resort, although it's dated from 2007.
- Bad documentation.
- Wondering if it has all features I will need through the development.
- Sedna
- Looks professional and does have API support for PHP.
- Good documentation!
- Wondering if it has any disadvantages.
- Berkeley DB XML
- Also looks professional, Oracle is well-known and I have heard of Berkeley before...
- Can't find documentation right away, only an old presentation.
- I will have to mess around with trying to get the PHP extension to compile.
- Saxon
- Hard to set-up in PHP and seems bloated and unstable when you do so.
- ...
- Are there any other solutions?
- Is PHP good enough for this?
I would love to hear your opinions on the best way to accomplish this, thanks in advance!
