Editing WebObjects (section)

===The end of WebObjects, and the beginning of Project Wonder===

In 2009, Apple stopped issuing new releases of WebObjects outside Apple. The community decided to continue development with Project Wonder, an open-source framework which is built on top of the core WebObjects frameworks and which extends them. For example, Project Wonder has updated development tools and provides a [[REST]] framework that was not part of the original WebObjects package.

Though once included in the default installation of Mac OS X Server, WebObjects was no longer installed by default starting with [[Mac OS X Snow Leopard|Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server]] and shortly after, Apple ceased promoting or selling WebObjects. As of 2016, WebObjects is actively supported by its developer community, the "WOCommunity Association", by extending the core frameworks and providing fixes with Project Wonder. The organization last held a Worldwide WebObjects Developer Conference, WOWODC, in 2013.<ref>[http://WOCommunity.org WebObjects Community Association] (WOCommunity) (official web site).</ref><ref>[http://www.wocommunity.org/wowodc12/](WOWODC '12) official web site.</ref>

In May 2016, Apple confirmed that WebObjects had been discontinued.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Leswing|first1=Kif|title=Apple officially killed one of Steve Jobs' favorite projects|url=http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-officially-discontinues-webobjects-2016-5|website=Business Insider|publisher=Business Insider|access-date=5 May 2016}}</ref>
