7.1 | 5 | As you've learned from the [[Programming feature>>Features.Programming]] it's possible to put code inside XWiki pages. You can combine several pages together to form an application. In other words an application is simply a self-contained set of XWiki pages. You can export these pages into a single archive file named a XAR (it stands for XWiki Archive) which can then be imported again into other wikis. This is a very nice way to create reusable applications. |

| |
34.1 | 40 | |
| 41 | Extensions are adds-on that can be installed inside a running XWiki using the [[Extension Manager>>extensions:Extension.Extension Manager Application]]. Applications are a type of Extensions but there are other types. For example, you could install the Markdown Syntax, LDAP integration or others. | ||
| 42 | |||
| |
34.2 | 43 | = Flavors = |
| |
34.1 | 44 | |
| 45 | A Flavor is a set of Extensions working together to achieve a goal. When you first start XWiki, you can pick the Flavor you want your wiki to be, from a list of existing Flavors. | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | Examples of potential Flavors (only some of them exist at this point): | ||
| 48 | * Knowledge Base | ||
| 49 | * Web Site | ||
| 50 | * Collaborative Intranet | ||
| 51 | * Demo | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | Technically a Flavor is also an Extension with dependencies on other Extensions. | ||
