Welcome to OpenWDDX.org, a web-based project to promote the use and evolution of the Web Distributed Data Exchange, or WDDX. This technology and project emerged out of work that Allaire (now Macromedia, Inc.) was doing in the Web application server space, specifically in solving the problem of sharing data and transactions between different servers on the Web. The solution, WDDX, was one of those things that emerged as an after-effect of other work. Simeon Simeonev, the architect of WDDX, realized that this could be generalized and supported by any Web language environment, and set to work to make WDDX as robust and compatible as was possible within the scope of an initial release.
The key realization, of course, was that exchanging content and commerce assets across the Web is not a problem unique to any specific platform. It is a fundamental problem of the Web, and reaching the true potential of the Web as a new economic platform required that we and the rest of the Web development community work towards some common forms of data exchange. Through this, we decided to shift the development and evolution of WDDX into a 'dot org' project, and work with others in the development community to help implement different language modules to support WDDX.
