The Java Content Repository (JCR) industry standard - also known as JSR 170 - helps companies around the world streamline access to distributed information. Day, as specification lead of the JCR standard spearheads the industry efforts to unify interoperability to the ever-growing array of information silos.

Day CRX is a commercially packaged version of the Apache Jackrabbit and Sling open source projects:
- Apache Jackrabbit is the reference implementation of the Java Content Repository (JCR) standard
- Apache Sling is a rapid web-application framework designed to unleash the full power of the Java Content Repository to the web
Whether you are a developer, a small and midsize enterprise, or a large enterprise, there is a Day CRX edition that meets your requirements. All editions share the same code base allowing you to easily scale your solution from a single server to a clustered multi-server environment, leaving any application unchanged.
Day CRX is also a platform for developers currently using Apache Jackrabbit. Developers can easily switch their web applications to CRX in order to get the benefit of scalability and enterprise-ready features. CRX is "drop-in" compatible with Apache Jackrabbit. Learn about Jackrabbit to CRX update
