What is ZimWeb

ZimWeb connects a Zim Server to the Internet, developed from the current ZimCGI. It is designed to be, for the most part, upward compatible with ZimCGI, but it has some distinct advantages, including:

• It is an all-Java servlet - you can run it on any platform with a Java Servlet Engine such as Apache's Jakarta Tomcat.
• It makes Zim web development easier with support for features like client sessions, cookies, etc.
• It supports XML and multiple client types (web browsers, cellphones and PDAs, etc.) by integrating with the Apache's Xalan-Java version 2 XSLT styling engine and Apache's Formatting Object Processor .
