The Karlsruhe Astrophysical Database of Nucleosynthesis in Stars (KADoNiS) project is an online database for experimental cross sections relevant to the $s$ process and $p$ process. It is available under http://nuclear-astrophysics.fzk.de/kadonis and consists of two parts. Part 1 is an updated sequel to the well-known Bao et al. compilations from 1987 and 2000, which is online since April 2005. An extension of this $s$-process database to $(n,p)$ and $(n,alpha)$ cross sections at $kT$= 30 keV, as in the first version of the Bao compilation, is planned. The second part of KADoNiS is a $p$-process library, which includes all available experimental data from $(p,gamma)$, $(p,n)$, $(alpha,gamma)$, $(alpha,n)$, $(alpha,alpha)$, $(n,alpha)$ and $(gamma,n)$ reactions in or close to the respective Gamow window. Despite the great number of reactions required for a $p$-process reaction network, experimental data is still scarce and up to now restricted to stable targets. Given here is a short overview about the present status of the KADoNiS database.
