## Welcome to Apache Tomcat!
|
|
|
|
### What Is It?
|
|
|
|
The Apache Tomcat® software is an open source implementation of the Jakarta
|
|
Servlet, Jakarta Pages, Jakarta Expression Language and Jakarta WebSocket
|
|
technologies. The Jakarta Servlet, Jakarta Pages, Jakarta Expression Language and
|
|
Jakarta WebSocket specifications are developed as part of the
|
|
[Jakarta EE Platform](https://jakarta.ee/specifications/).
|
|
|
|
The Apache Tomcat software is developed in an open and participatory
|
|
environment and released under the
|
|
[Apache License version 2](https://www.apache.org/licenses/). The Apache Tomcat
|
|
project is intended to be a collaboration of the best-of-breed developers from
|
|
around the world. We invite you to participate in this open development
|
|
project. To learn more about getting involved,
|
|
[click here](https://tomcat.apache.org/getinvolved.html) or keep reading.
|
|
|
|
Apache Tomcat software powers numerous large-scale, mission-critical web
|
|
applications across a diverse range of industries and organizations. Some of
|
|
these users and their stories are listed on the
|
|
[PoweredBy wiki page](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TOMCAT/PoweredBy).
|
|
|
|
Apache Tomcat, Tomcat, Apache, the Apache feather, and the Apache Tomcat
|
|
project logo are trademarks of the Apache Software Foundation.
|
|
|
|
### Get It
|
|
|
|
For every major Tomcat version there is one download page containing
|
|
links to the latest binary and source code downloads, but also
|
|
links for browsing the download directories and archives:
|
|
- [Tomcat 11](https://tomcat.apache.org/download-11.cgi)
|
|
- [Tomcat 10](https://tomcat.apache.org/download-10.cgi)
|
|
- [Tomcat 9](https://tomcat.apache.org/download-90.cgi)
|
|
|
|
To facilitate choosing the right major Tomcat version one, we have provided a
|
|
[version overview page](https://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html).
|
|
|
|
