Projects |
The Apache Software Foundation is a highly decentralized community of developers.
We are organized into the following projects, many containing sub-projects.
HTTP Server |
Commonly known as Apache httpd |
Ant |
Java-based build tool |
APR |
The Apache Portable Runtime |
Avalon |
Framework and components for Java applications |
Cocoon |
XML publishing framework |
Commons |
Reusable libraries and components |
DB |
Database access |
Incubator |

Jakarta |
Server-side Java |
James |
Java Apache Mail Enterprise Server |
Perl |
Dynamic websites using Perl |
PHP |
Server-side, HTML embedded scripting language |
TCL |
Dynamic websites using TCL |
Web Services |
Web Services |
XML |
XML solutions focused on the web |
Conferences |
Meetings of developers and users |
Foundation |
Administration and infrastructure management |
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.
In addition to the information below, the Linux Documentation Project contains an
Apache Overview.
If you would like to see what individual members are working on which projects, we
have created a page
where the ASF members can list what projects they are working on.

Official
Apache Software Foundation Projects |
Apache
HTTP Server Project |
http://httpd.apache.org/
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.
|
Apache
Ant Project |
http://ant.apache.org
Apache Ant is a Java-based build tool. In theory, it is kind of like Make, but without
Make's wrinkles. Instead of a model where it is extended with shell-based commands,
Ant is extended using Java classes. Instead of writing shell commands, the configuration
files are XML-based, calling out a target tree where various tasks get executed.
Each task is run by an object that implements a particular Task interface.
|
Apache
Portable Runtime Project |
http://apr.apache.org/
The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) is to provide a free library of
C data structures and routines, forming a system portability layer to as many operating
systems as possible.
|
Apache
Avalon Project |
http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/
The Avalon project is an effort to create, design, develop and maintain a common
framework and set of components for applications written using the Java language.
Having said that, what Avalon 'is', is a framework that allows components of varying
scale to be created, managed via a specific set of lifecycle methods, and used in
an application. While Avalon is geared towards server-side applications, it is not
limited to such, and is quite flexible.
|
Apache
Cocoon Project |
http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/
Apache Cocoon is an XML publishing framework that raises the usage of XML and XSLT
technologies for server applications to a new level. Designed for performance and
scalability around pipelined SAX processing, Cocoon offers a flexible environment
based on a separation of concerns between content, logic, and style. To top this
all off, Cocoon's centralized configuration system and sophisticated caching help
you to create, deploy, and maintain rock-solid XML server applications.
|
Apache
DB Project |
No URL Available
Software related to database access.
|
Apache
Incubator Project |
http://incubator.apache.org
Provides an entry path to the Apache Software Foundation for projects and codebases
wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts. Code donations from external
organisations and existing external projects wishing to move to Apache will enter
through the Incubator. A large part of the Incubator's effort will be devoted to
providing documentation on how the Foundation works, and how to get things done within
its framework. As a consequence, it is expected that the Incubator will also become
a reference for new contributors to any of the Apache projects.
|
Apache
James Project |
http://james.apache.org/
The Java Apache Mail Enterprise Server (a.k.a. Apache James) is a 100% pure Java
SMTP and POP3 Mail server and NNTP News server designed to be a complete and portable
enterprise mail engine solution based on currently available open protocols. James
is also a mail application platform. The James project hosts the Apache Mailet API,
and James provides an implementation of this mail application platform API.
|
Apache
Perl Project |
http://perl.apache.org/
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.
|
PHP |
http://www.php.net/
PHP is a server-side, cross-platform, HTML embedded scripting language.
|
Apache
Tcl Project |
http://tcl.apache.org/
Apache Tcl is an umbrella for Tcl-Apache integration efforts. These projects combine
the power of the Apache web server with the capabilities of the time-tested Tcl scripting
language.
|
Apache
Web Services Project |
http://ws.apache.org/
The Web Services project is responsible for software related to the provision and
discovery of application programming interfaces made available via application protocols
like HTTP and whose requests and responses are usually formatted in XML. The technologies
relevant here are those typically associated with "Web Services" by the
popular IT press, such as SOAP, XML-RPC, UDDI, WSDL, and others.
|
The Apache
XML Project |
http://xml.apache.org/
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 activities within Apache projects
|
Apache
Foundation |
http://www.apache.org/foundation/
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.

Java
Apache |
http://java.apache.org/
The Java Apache Project is home to various other server-side Java projects. This
project and Jakarta are very closely connected and will eventually be merged into
just the Jakarta Project.

JServ Servlet Engine |
JSSI |
