Apache Forrest

Apache Forrest is a web-publishing framework based on Apache Cocoon. It is an XML single source publishing framework that allows multiple types of data-files as input, such as various popular word processing and spreadsheet files, as well as two wiki dialects. Plugins are available to support additional formats, both for input as well as output (such as PDF).

Forrest is not a content management system (CMS), as it lacks the full workflow and admin functions of a CMS. Its primary use is in integrating and aggregating content from various sources and presenting them in a unified format for human consumption. "Single source" is this context does not mean that it is restricted to aggregating from only a single source, but rather that the multiple output formats can be maintained whilst still only needing to maintain a single source document.

Trivia

While Apache Forrest has as of 2017 not seen a new release for 6 years and was started in 2002, the website still claims "Apache Forrest is fairly new".

gollark: Mrmola's goals are beyond the understanding of us mortal beings/
gollark: What does mola have that data for?
gollark: OH NO IT STARTED AGAIN ÅAAAAA
gollark: > Someone in charge of the Discord bots here should write or extend a bot to replace a regex match to replace 0/0 or x/0 by UNDEFINED automatically. Something like re.replace([0-9]*/ 0, UNDEFINED , string) (simplified because I am lazy) , so MrMola can no longer type 0 / 0 and it's automatically shown as UNDEFINED :- )<@520480232738652161> Bots and moderators cannot, for extremely obvious reasons, edit other people's messages.
gollark: As opposed to partial ordering, where some pairs of elements can't be ordered.
