It is part of the mid-2000s XML database and standards tooling wave. ### Projektgeschichte SourceForge records XQilla as registered on 2005-10-31, and describes it as an XQuery and XPath 2.0 library written in C++ and built on Xerces-C. That origin places it during the period when XQuery and XPath 2.0 were becoming serious standards for XML databases, document repositories, and application servers. The repository README is intentionally terse: XQilla is a C++ implementation of XQuery and XPath 2.0 based on Xerces-C, and its build instructions start by building a Xerces-C source distribution before configuring XQilla against it. That dependency shaped its audience: C++ developers already in the Xerces/XML stack. Repository history shows long maintenance rather than constant redesign. SourceForge lists branches for xqilla_1_0, xqilla_1_1, xqilla_2_1, xqilla_2_2, and xqilla_2_3, with later tree activity by Lauren Foutz in 2015-2018 and historical work by John Snelson in documentation, TODOs, and parser/runtime internals. ### Adoptionsgeschichte XQilla's adoption has been specialized but durable. It appears in package collections such as Debian, FreshPorts, Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, Conan Center, and CERN LCG package metadata because it provides a C++ XQuery/XPath implementation where embedding and command-line evaluation both matter. The project never became a general-purpose shell text tool like jq. Its significance is in XML-heavy systems: standards testing, database-adjacent XML querying, C++ applications that already use Xerces-C, and environments that need a packaged xqilla executable for XQuery or XPath 2.0 evaluation. ### Wie es verwendet wird The Homebrew formula exposes the xqilla executable as an XQuery and XPath 2 command-line interpreter. In practical use, users run queries over XML documents or embed the library in C++ code that needs XQuery/XPath 2.0 support on top of Xerces-C parsing. Build-time usage is more old-school than many modern CLIs: the upstream README expects users to build Xerces-C, then configure XQilla with --with-xerces pointing to that build. That makes it familiar to C/C++ package maintainers and less casual for one-off users. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren XQilla is package-nerd significant because it preserves a serious XML standards implementation from the SourceForge era. It is not trendy, but it fills a hard-to-replace niche for C++ XQuery and XPath 2.0 users. It also illustrates why package managers carry libraries and tiny interpreters that most users never install directly: old XML stacks, scientific software, enterprise tools, and standards testbeds can depend on them for years. ### Zeitleiste - 2005-10-31: SourceForge lists XQilla's project registration date. - 2008-11-28: Repository history shows XQC API documentation and examples added. - 2011-10-31: SourceForge files area shows the historical xqilla directory timestamp. - 2015-05-19: SourceForge lists XQilla 2.3.1 archives. - 2018-07-03: SourceForge lists XQilla 2.3.4 archives. - 2018-07-12: SourceForge records the project's last update date. ### Related projects - Xerces-C: the XML parser foundation XQilla builds on. - eXist-db and Zorba: neighboring XML database and XQuery processor projects listed near XQilla on SourceForge. - Berkeley DB XML and mod_dbxml: related XML database tooling in the same historical ecosystem. ### Quellen - - - - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise generalized runtime or code generation signal. - **Geiger-Risiko:** yellow / mittel - generalized runtime or code generation signal ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Nix - xqilla: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/xq/xqilla/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - MacPorts - xqilla: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: textproc/xqilla/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
