## Welcome to Apache Tomcat!



### What Is It?



The Apache Tomcat® software is an open source implementation of the Jakarta

Servlet, Jakarta Pages, Jakarta Expression Language and Jakarta WebSocket

technologies. The Jakarta Servlet, Jakarta Pages, Jakarta Expression Language and

Jakarta WebSocket specifications are developed as part of the

[Jakarta EE Platform](https://jakarta.ee/specifications/).



The Apache Tomcat software is developed in an open and participatory

environment and released under the

[Apache License version 2](https://www.apache.org/licenses/). The Apache Tomcat

project is intended to be a collaboration of the best-of-breed developers from

around the world. We invite you to participate in this open development

project. To learn more about getting involved,

[click here](https://tomcat.apache.org/getinvolved.html) or keep reading.



Apache Tomcat software powers numerous large-scale, mission-critical web

applications across a diverse range of industries and organizations. Some of

these users and their stories are listed on the

[PoweredBy wiki page](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TOMCAT/PoweredBy).



Apache Tomcat, Tomcat, Apache, the Apache feather, and the Apache Tomcat

project logo are trademarks of the Apache Software Foundation.
