JaxServer is an open-source web application server and development framework for the NodeJS server-side JavaScript platform. NodeJS provides a high quality, evented JavaScript framework upon which HTTP services can be built. JaxServer provides a complete web development environment including a highly configurable webserver, template engine, MVC-style libraries, and CSS preprocessor. JaxServer is largely inspired by Tomcat/JSP and Ruby on Rails so web developers familiar with either of these frameworks will see many similarities in the way JaxServer operates.
