• Highlights

• Using Prolog to process XQuery is faster than using native XML tools, for queries that search by key or position on small datasets.

• For large datasets, or for queries that search for substrings, native XML approaches are the best option.

• Results show that it is worth investing in an algorithm to automatically translate XQuery into Prolog queries.
