This page is part of {{Announce|The conventions for the [[Developer Section]]. It describes how to use BaseX from otherprogramming languages.client functions were revised:}}
With * The {{Code|replace}} and {{Code|store}} functions have been renamed to {{Code|put}} and {{Code|putBinary}}.* The {{Code|RETRIEVE}} command has been replaced by {{Command|BINARY GET}}.* Existing client implementations are working without changes unless they haven’t been upgraded. This page is part of the [[Developer Section]]. It describes how to communicate with BaseXfrom other programming languages. You can use the following light-weight language bindings in different programming languages,you will be able to connect to a running BaseX server instance, execute databasecommands, perform queries or listen to eventsand evaluate XQuery expressions. Most clients offer the followingprovide two classesmodes:
* [[Standard Mode]]: connecting to a server, sending commands
* [[Query Mode]]: defining queries, binding variables, iterative evaluation
Bindings for other languages are easy to write, and welcome!Please have a look at our see the [[Server Protocol]] for more informationon the available commands.Currently, we offer bindings for the following programming languages:

Many of the interfaces contain the following files:
* <code>CreateExample</code> shows how new databases can be created by using streams.
* <code>AddExample</code> shows how documents can be added to a database by using streams.
* <code>EventExample</code> demonstrates how to watch and unwatch [[Events]].
