It includes everything you need to get started with a stand-alone installation in less than 10 minutes. Magnolia runs on all common operating systems (JDK 1.4.1 or later required). No additional software or databases are required.

Open standards

Magnolia adheres to open standards such as HTML, XML, ECMA-Script, Java, JSP, J2EE, JSR-168, JSR-170, and more.

 

Java platform

Magnolia is built on top of the Java platform which is one of the two leading enterprise-grade software programming platforms (the other is .Net).

JSR-170 - content repository standard
