Mapping XML to Key-Value Database

XML is a popular data format used in many software applications. Native XML databases can be used for persistence of XML documents or the document can be stored in a relational database. In this paper we propose an alternative storage for XML documents based on key-value databases. We propose three general algorithms for XML to key-value database mapping. The algorithms are optimized using specific features of key- value database Redis. Finally a performance comparison of implemented algorithms and common native XML databases is provided.
