Development Tools
Imagine following:
- a database that stores all company data (such as order confirmations and marketing videos)
- a data model that adapts to your needs (others call that "migration")
- everything is versioned
- and you can use full-text or SQL to query (among others)
- Additionally, built-in access control means you don't have to code this once again
- and on-top of that: a JavaScript API with direct access to the repository content from within the users web browser
Welcome to CRX from Adobe. Designed by the inventors of the web for developers of next-generation hypertext-driven applications.
CRX is a commercially packaged product that contains following open source projects:
- Apache Jackrabbit - the Java Content Repository
- Apache Sling - RESTful web development framework
- Apache Felix - application management with OSGi
The team is contributing significant research & development resources into the mentioned Apache projects and is committed to the open source development process. Proven by the “code drop-in” compatibility. For example: Bug fixes or enhancements in Apache Jackrabbit can be dropped in CRX and vice-versa.
With CRX, developers can jump-start web application and content service development using their preferred programming language, without being bound to Java and independently from their JCR API knowledge.
