Salvora is a tool to manage document collections, content, XForms, Xslt Transformations and XProc processes directly from local folders, without embedding them in a full application server solution.

You can use Salvora to gather data and modify documents using XForms both locally for personal use or from a browser in a VPN protected network for small groups. You can also use Salvora for prototyping document based applications or in order to prepare Xslt and XProc staging solutions. Salvora is not intended primarily for wide production environments, and by default the external access switch is disabled.

Currently, browsers tend to limit some of the functionalities of XForms when run directly from the local file system, and the current Html standard and browsers only support Xslt 1.0. It is easyer to run them in a client-server environment.

Salvora "serverl-less-server" can expose both read only or read/write folders as a REST service, perform Xlst transformations (2.0 and 3.0 also) and trigger XProc III processes. It is also able to print the folder file lists of configured folders.
