## Notes

Apache Tomcat implements the Jakarta Servlet, Pages, Expression Language, WebSocket, Annotations and Authentication specifications in Java. It runs on a Java runtime. The [documentation](https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-11.0-doc/) for each major line is published by the project.

The project publishes a binary archive. The Windows installer registers Tomcat as a service, and the Maven Central artifacts serve projects that use Tomcat's libraries.
