1 The SOPE package is an extensive set of frameworks (16 frameworks,
2 ~1500 classes) which form a complete Web application server environment.
3 Besides the Apple WebObjects compatible appserver extended with Zope
4 concepts, it contains a large set of reusable classes: XML processing
5 (SAX2, DOM, XML-RPC), MIME/IMAP4 processing, LDAP connectivity, RDBMS
6 connectivity, and iCalendar parsing.
8 The individual frameworks of the package can be used standalone (for
9 example in Cocoa or GNUstep applications) and do not require the
10 application server itself.
