| 3 | = Applications = | ||
| 4 | |||
| 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. | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | Applications offer a powerful way to create advanced content within wiki pages. | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | == Applications available for download on XWiki.org == | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | Check the [[Extensions wiki>>extensions:Main.WebHome]] which lists all applications available that you can install in your wiki. | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | == Applications Examples == | ||

| 39 | = Extensions = | ||
| 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 | |||
| 43 | = Flavors = | ||
| 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 | |||

| 54 | |||
| 55 | Technically a Flavor is also an Extension with dependencies on other Extensions. | ||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | = Creating new Applications and Extensions = | ||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | If you'd like to create new applications with XWiki our [[Developer's Guide>>DevGuide.WebHome]] will help you through the process. | ||
| 60 | If you are interested in participating to the XWiki project development itself or in building it from sources, you should refer to the [[XWiki development community>>dev:Main.WebHome]]. | ||
| 61 | If you still have questions you may [[subscribe to the Forum>>dev:Community.Discuss]]. |
