Abstract
Without any doubt, the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) (Bray et al., 2006) is currently one of the most popular formats for data representation.

Soon it was possible to distinguish several different directions. The four most popular ones are methods which store XML data in a classical file system, methods which store and process XML data using a relational database management system, methods which exploit a pure object-oriented approach and native methods that use special indices, numbering schemas and/or data structures proposed or suitable particularly for tree structure of XML data.
