XINS is a technology used to define, create, and invoke remote APIs. XINS is specification-oriented.

When API specifications are written (in XML), XINS will transform them to HTML-based documentation and Java code for both the client-side and the server-side.

The communication is based on HTTP. XINS competes with the complex SOAP technology. Main design goals include simplicity, scalability, and testability.

XINS is not only a specification technology, but also an application development framework. It offers transaction logging, unique log documentation, and active code generation.

What's New in 1.5.0 Stable Release:
Integration of the front-end framework.
Improved integration with Eclipse.
JMX support.
New tools for APIs: coverage, PMD, FindBugs, java2html, JMeter, ...
