Apache Sling is an
RESTful
style of application architecture.
Sling is different from many other
Web application frameworks
in the
sense that it truly focuses on the web aspect of the "web application" development and
through its development paradigm suggests an intuitive RESTful
development of a true web application.
Other frameworks focus more on the application development and therefore are ideal extensions to Sling.[3]
The Sling project was started on August 27, 2007,Apache Software Foundation. The project was accepted to the Apache Incubator with Apache Jackrabbit being the sponsoring project. On June 18, 2009 [5] the project graduated as an Apache top-level project.
