'''Apache Tomcat''' (called "Tomcat" for short) is a free and open-source implementation of the Jakarta Servlet, [[Jakarta Expression Language]], and [[WebSocket]] technologies. It provides a "pure Java" HTTP web server environment in which Java code can also run. Thus it is a Java web application server, although not a full [[Jakarta EE|JEE application server]].

Tomcat is developed and maintained by an open community of developers under the auspices of the Apache Software Foundation, released under the Apache License 2.0 license.
