With over 140,000 code commits, 1,200+ GitHub stars, and continuous development since 2004 spanning more than two decades of active maintenance through version 18.6.0 released in July 2026, XWiki operates as a second-generation wiki platform that goes beyond static pages by enabling teams to build custom collaborative applications directly inside wiki pages using structured data forms and in-page scripting. The Java backend runs on Apache Tomcat with PostgreSQL, MySQL, or Oracle database storage, serving a responsive web interface with a WYSIWYG editor featuring real-time collaborative editing, link and macro editors, user mentions, inline comments, annotations, and complete version history with diff comparison. The App Within Minutes extension lets non-developers create custom data-driven applications using drag-and-drop form builders that generate filterable live tables for structured data browsing without writing code. Over 900 extensions from the built-in Extension Manager add functionality including blogs, task trackers, forums, diagram editors, and Confluence migration tools. Enterprise integration features include LDAP and Active Directory authentication, SAML and OIDC single sign-on, fine-grained per-page and per-space permissions with nested page hierarchies, and multi-wiki support for hosting multiple independent wikis from a single installation. The RESTful API provides programmatic access to pages, spaces, objects, attachments, and properties with XML and JSON representations. Office document import converts Word and Excel files directly into wiki pages while PDF export generates formatted documents from wiki content. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. LGPL-2.1 licensed.
