XPages is a web and mobile application development platform. It allows IBM Domino data as well as data from relational and other data sources to be displayed to browser clients on all platforms. The programming model is based on standards and common web development skills like JavaScript, Ajax, the Dojo Toolkit, Server-side JavaScript, and JavaServer Faces. XPages leverages IBM Domino functionality, like its NoSQL document-oriented database.
