WSO2 Unveils Open Source Mashup Server
One example is doctors at an HMO, who have been using WSO2's solution to create their own situational applications in JavaScript, Marsh said.
Marsh cited a general trend with mashups, where there's a need to move away from the traditional Web site publishing model, where control is maintained by the publisher and delivery is by HTML.
"There's a demand to get away from HTML as the canonical format for delivering information to consumers," he said. "[It's a movement] to actually having a site provide APIs -- Web services -- that can be accessed programmatically to get just the content, in a format that is very flexible and [that] is able to be programmed, mashed up and repurposed by the customer."
WSO2 Mashup Server 1.0 is currently available via a free download. People can also sign up for free access to WSO2's hosted mashup service at Mooshup.com.
WSO2 makes its income through selling services and support around its open source products, and, for further information, go here. The company also hosts an open developer portal called WSO2 Oxygen Tank.
