Sedna XML Database .Net API
Download here!
 

Sedna is a Native XML Database server currently in development by the modis group, an R&D team at ISP RAS. Unlike some other NXD's, this server offers the potential to be a simpler and faster implementation of an XML database because it was written from scratch in C++, by an expert group who have been studying structured and semi-structured database engines since the early 80s. Some of the papers they have written on the subject are also an interesting read.

Sedna is very easy to set up. You can download the files here. Once downloaded you literally copy the files into a folder and run the server. Once running it can be accessed over the network using various APIs.

One thing that was missing from the original release was a way of accessing Sedna from Microsoft's .Net platform. So I took the time to port the Java API to C#, with some modifications in naming and structure to make it more familiar to .Net developers. The result is this utility download - a simple file that contains the entirety of the API for accessing Sedna. While the API is written in C#, the resultant DLL can be used from any .Net language - opening up access to the 30 or so languages available today for the .Net platform.

Full documentation on using the API can be found in this article.
