# xxm

xxm enables you to create dynamic websites in Delphi, combining both Delphi and HTML in the source files. The project is compiled into a module, ready for use by a pluggable protocol handler in Internet Explorer, an ISAPI Extension, an Apache module, with HTTPAPI, with CGI or SCGI, or a stand-alone HTTP server. (Perhaps more in the future or by other parties.)

## How does it work?



An xxm project contains source-files that hold both HTML and Object Pascal source code. These are converted (e.g. by the auto-compile on refresh feature) into a plain Delphi project, which is compiled into a xxm Library (with the `.xxl` file extension). This xxm Library can be loaded by one of the xxm handlers:

* an ISAPI extension that plugs into IIS

* an Apache 2 module

* a process that uses HTTPAPI (http.sys)

* a stand-alone basic HTTP server

* an old-fashioned CGI application

* an SCGI server process

* ... (perhaps more later)

Most handlers are available in these forms:

* no extra's: the handler loads one or more xxl's and keeps them loaded until shutdown

* auto-compile: the handler checks if source-files are modified, and parses and compiles the project (great for development!)

* auto-update: the handler checks for a _`name`_`.xxu` file, if present requests are stalled until the xxl can get overwritten by the xxu file (great for live environments!)
