Changes

First of all, launch the BaseX as [[Web Application]]. By default, [http://jetty.codehaus.org/jetty/ Jetty] is used as web server, and all . All HTTP services will be available on port <code>8984</code>, and the REST service is accessible at {{Mono|http://localhost:8984/rest/}}.

If the server is started as Servlet, all [[Options#Main Options|Main Options]] (such as the path to the database) can be configured in the {{Mono|web.xml}} file. If run as a standalone application, the settings are stored in the file {{Mono|.basex}}. Most browsers can be used to get to know the REST API, and to directly display the results.When requesting the first result, you will have to enter some database credentials(default: <code>admin</code>/<code>admin</code>, [[#User Management|see below]]).Some alternatives for using REST are listed in the [[#Usage Examples|Usage Examples]].
