WSO2 Mashup Server in Standalone Mode

Introduction

The WSO2 Mashup Server is a powerful yet simple and quick way to tailor Web-based information to the personal needs of individuals and organizations. It is a platform for acquiring data from a variety of sources including Web Services, HTML pages, Feeds and Data sources, and process and combine it with other data using Javascript with E4X XML extensions. The result is then exposed as a new Web service with rich metadata and artifacts to simplify the creation of rich user interfaces. WSO2 Mashup Server is distributed in several convenient distribution packages, and can be installed either as a standalone server or as part of a J2EE compliant servlet container. WSO2 Mashup Server is distributed under the Apache License, version 2.0. [Download WSO2 Mashup Server]
