description	Berkeley DB XML is exciting to me for multiple reasons. Text data is appealing (as you’ll realize as you read The Definitive Guide to Berkeley DB XML), and I crave technologies that make it easy to work with. XML is attractive for its flexibility, XPath for its intuitive elegance, XSLT for its declarative nature, and so on. I know full well that XML didn’t break new technical ground or invent something we didn’t already have. I don’t care about that. What XML did was to convince an industry to use it—and to use it everywhere. Call it hype; call it The Man. The bottom line is that I now have an astonishing array of tools and technologies, all compatible, to work with data as I like. Until recently, a database was the big missing link; I had to convert data to and from SQL to index it. Eventually, XML databases began to pop up. But even as they did, I was unhappy with their design: most were language-specific, some were just XML-to-RDB interfaces, many had proprietary or otherwise limited query languages, and so on. Berkeley DB XML caught my eye for three reasons. First, it’s Sleepycat, and I’ve been a big fan of Berkeley DB for a long time—its ease of use, its simplicity, and its near-ubiquity. Second, it’s embedded, which is one of my pet requirements on any project that doesn’t absolutely need a database server (just ask my associates). And third, it has language API support for all the major programming languages. When version 2 came along with full support for the industry-standard XQuery language (which is so cool), it was ready for production use in my own sizable projects. I doubt that many technical books get written if the author isn’t excited by the subject matter. I want to assure you that this is the case for The Definitive Guide to Berkeley DB XML. I wanted this book to exist because BDB XML has made so much of my current work feasible and fun. I think it’s an important piece of software that can dramatically improve how you work with data: how you store it, how you search it, and how you retrieve it. I think XQuery is a great domain-specific language that makes querying data…er, enjoyable, if I dare say so. That’s what I think. And so I wrote the book I wanted to read on the matter.
