Projects

The Apache Software Foundation is always looking for new or existing collaborative software development projects that are in need of a home. This includes both projects related and unrelated to the existing ASF projects.

Apache HTTP Server

The Apache HTTP Server Project is an effort to develop and maintain an open-source HTTP server software product for various modern desktop and server operating systems. The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards.

The Apache XML Project

The goals of the Apache XML Project 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 activies within Apache projects

This project has been seeded with significant code contributions from a number of individuals and companies.

Jakarta

Jakarta is home to two new projects related to server-side Java, specifically Tomcat, a Java Servlet engine, and Josper, a Java Server Pages reference implementation.

Java-Apache

The Java-Apache Project is home to various other server-side Java projects: Apache JServ, a servlet engine; JSSI, a template engine for Java; Cocoon, an XML processing engine implemented as a servlet; and the Element Construction Set, a servlet for rendering HTML from complex data structures. This project and Jakarta are very closely connected.

mod_perl

The Apache/Perl integration project brings together the full power of the Perl programming language and the Apache HTTP server. With mod_perl it is possible to write Apache modules entirely in Perl. In addition, the persistent interpreter embedded in the server avoids the overhead of starting an external interpreter and the penalty of Perl start-up time.

mod_php

PHP is a server-side, cross-platform, HTML embedded scripting language.

Apache Foundation Project

The Foundation Project has the goal of building and sustaining the literal foundation upon which our open-source software projects are based, by managing and staffing the administrative functions of the Apache Software Foundation and providing equipment and communication services to the ASF projects.
