## What it is
XWiki Platform is a generic open-source enterprise wiki platform written in Java that offers runtime services for collaborative applications built on top of it. It provides page editing with WYSIWYG and wiki syntax, version control of content, rights management, search, a RESTful API, and an extension ecosystem for installing or developing applications inside wiki pages.

## Use cases
- self-host an enterprise wiki as a confluence alternative
- build a company knowledge base or collaborative intranet
- create a public documentation website
- develop small collaborative applications inside wiki pages
- migrate content from office documents or other wikis
- export wiki pages to pdf or html
- integrate wiki content with other apps via a REST API

## When to choose
- you need a mature, self-hosted wiki with strong rights management and versioning
- you want to build custom applications on top of a wiki platform with scripting (Velocity/Groovy)
- you need an open-source alternative to Confluence or MediaWiki with an extension marketplace
- you require structured content stored in a relational database with a RESTful API

## When to avoid
- you only need a simple static site or blog
- you want a lightweight markdown-file-based wiki without a Java application server
- your team has no capacity to operate a Java web application and database
- you need a headless CMS rather than a wiki paradigm
