Why did we launch Mooshup.com?
Lots of reasons, including:
- To offer authors of Javascript Web service mashups for the WSO2 Mashup Server environment the ability to run those mashups "in the cloud," with high performance and availability. This online component is valuable for users who have downloaded the WSO2 Mashup Server.
- To allow mashup authors to develop and deploy mashups for their own use and for the use of others.
- To build a community around the WSO2 Mashup Server environment, where users can find interesting mashups, building blocks, samples, and inspiration.
- To prove that the WSO2 Mashup Server scales seamlessly from a desktop installation to an internet scale user site, and illustrate how the WSO2 Mashup Server can be rebranded for your team or enterprise installation.
What is a mashup anyway?
Mashups are simple, lightweight programs that compose, transform, filter, cache, and otherwise "mash" data and services. These applications are becoming an increasingly important part of the information age. They allow you to tame the raging information flow and put it to work for you. Rather than being forced to consume information in the way the publisher wishes it presented, increasingly users are finding the power to consume raw information, combine it with other data sources, customize and shape the results, and interact with that information.
What kinds of mashups are supported by the WSO2 Mashup Server?
A Mashup platform such as the WSO2 Mashup Server provides ways to acquire data, they provide a central abstraction and tools for working with that data, and they provide ways to publish the result to the consumer. The WSO2 Mashup Server uses Web Services as the mechanism for acquiring data, XML as its central abstraction, Javascript (with E4X XML extensions) for manipulating that data, and again Web Services as the primary way to re-publish the new information stream, with bridges to HTML, RSS, and other output mechanisms.
