The WSO2 Mashup Server is a powerful yet simple and quick way to tailor Web-based information to the personal needs of individuals and organizations.It is a platform for acquiring data from a variety of sources including WebServices, HTML pages, feeds and data sources, and process and combine it with other data using JavaScript with E4X XML extensions. The result is then exposed as a new Web service with rich meta-data and artifacts to simplify the creation of rich user interfaces.
