About

Apache Sling is an open-source web framework that uses a Java Content Repository (JCR), such as Apache Jackrabbit, to store and manage content.

It maps HTTP request URLs to content resources, supports server-side scripting with languages like JSP, JavaScript, Ruby, and Velocity, and integrates with the OSGi framework for modularity.

Jakarta Servlet enables developers to write web UIs using pure Java.
