Right?  Our application currently stores all data in flat mkeyed files (http://documentation.basis.com/BASISHelp/WebHelp/usr/mkeyed_files.htm).

We have an in house tool outside the application which is only used by developers, but we want the data to be edited independently and shared by multiple developers (merge changes using SourceTree), so I'm thinking of moving the data for that tool, currently also in mkeyed format, to an XML format (so it appears as plain text for merge tools).

So I wanted to find the simplest, most logical way to access that file/record/field type data in XML.
First is the question of do we simply store everything as tag data:
<record><field1>value</field1></record>
or is there a pratical reason for tag attributes:
<record key="0001"><field1>value</field1></record>
or is there anything else we should know about the data syntax to put in from the start so we don't have to rewrite a bunch of files?

Then there's the question do we need binding?
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jaxb/intro/
os just the basic XML API?
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jaxp/

Then do we choose a model (SAX, DOM, or StAX?) or (can we have / do we want) multiple methods accessing the same XML data using different models for different reasons?

Getting back to the thread topic, would our use of XML for text data files for local application benefit from XQuery?
