You don't have to use a database - or even have a database server
running - to use BaseX for this. Although if you do ahve a server
running, you can avoid the Java runtime startup time, of course.

Just use doc() and, if needed, file:write() and serialize().

I think these days BaseX no longer strips whitespace-only text nodes by
default, thankfully.
