Welcome to Apache Incubator CXF!
======================
-Apache Incubator CXF simplifies the construction, integration, and flexible
-reuse of technical and business components using a standards-based,
-service-oriented architecture (SOA). It provides a pluggable architecture that
-supports not only XML but also non-XML bindings in combination with any type
-of transport. It also supports several programming models including JAX-WS,
-JBI, SCA, and CORBA. It is designed for flexible deployment in a variety of
-containers including Spring-based, JBI, SCA, Servlet and J2EE containers. This
-broad range of flexibility makes it possible to create and integrate Web
-services and legacy services using a single framework.
+Apache CXF is an open source services framework. CXF helps you build and
+develop services using frontend programming APIs, like JAX-WS. These
+services can speak a variety of protocols such as SOAP, XML/HTTP, RESTful
+HTTP, or CORBA and work over a variety of transports such as HTTP, JMS or JBI.
+
+CXF includes a broad feature set, but it is primarily focused on the following
+areas:
+
+ * Web Services Standards Support: CXF supports a variety of web service
+ standards including SOAP, the Basic Profile, WSDL, WS-Addressing,
+ WS-Policy, WS-ReliableMessaging, and WS-Security.
+ * Frontends: CXF supports a variety of "frontend" programming models. CXF
+ implements the JAX-WS APIs. It also includes a "simple frontend" which
+ allows creation of clients and endpoints without annotations. CXF
supports
+ both contract first development with WSDL and code first development
+ starting from Java.
+ * Ease of use: CXF is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. There
+ are simple APIs to quickly build code-first services, Maven plug-ins to
+ make tooling integration easy, JAX-WS API support, Spring 2.0 XML
support
+ to make configuration a snap, and much more.
+ * Binary and Legacy Protocol Support: CXF has been designed to provide a
+ pluggable architecture that supports not only XML but also non-XML type
+ bindings, such as JSON and CORBA, in combination with any type of
transport.
