Getting Files into and out of the Database
eXist is an XML database. Its primary storage concern is XML documents. It can also
hold your XQuery files, and any other resources needed by your application. So how
do you get files in and out of it?
Collections app
Browse to eXist's Collections application (available through the dashboard). This
allows you to look through the contents of your database and maintain the col‐
lections and resources.
eXide
eXist's built-in native IDE, called eXide, has facilities for uploading and down‐
loading files. Click File→Manage (or press Ctrl-Shift-M).
WebDAV
eXist's WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning protocol)
interface allows you to access the contents of the database just like it was any
other file store available to your OS. The address to use is http://localhost:8080/
exist/webdav/db/ or, when your OS requires safe URLs (like Windows 7), https://
localhost:8443/exist/webdav/db/ .
