Welcome to the Apache XML Project

The goals of the Apache XML Project (part of The Apache Software Foundation) are:

  • to provide commercial-quality standards-based XML solutions that are developed in an open and cooperative fashion,
  • to provide feedback to standards bodies (such as IETF and W3C) from an implementation perspective, and
  • to be a focus for XML-related activities within Apache projects

The Apache XML Project used to be the home for many XML-related subprojects, many of which have moved to top-level project status recently or are currently in migration. The Apache XML Project slowly transforms into an place where you can find pointers to XML-related projects here in the Apache Software Foundation. The remaining subprojects directly under the supervision of the XML PMC are:

  • AxKit - XML-based web publishing, in mod_perl
  • Crimson - A Java XML parser derived from the Sun Project X Parser. (in hibernation)
  • Xang - Rapid development of dynamic server pages, in JavaScript (in hibernation)
  • Xindice - A native XML database.
  • XML Commons - focussed on common code and guidelines for XML projects
  • XML Security - Java and C++ implementations of the XML signature and encryption standards
