XWiki is an open-source wiki platform written in Java that enables organizations to create collaborative workspaces for knowledge management, documentation, and structured data applications. Unlike simple wikis, XWiki provides a full application development platform with scripting capabilities, structured data support, and extension mechanisms. It supports real-time collaborative editing, version control, access control, and can be extended through a rich ecosystem of extensions. XWiki has been adopted by organizations ranging from small teams to large enterprises and research institutions, and serves as a platform for building custom collaborative applications. It is particularly relevant in Software Engineering, Education and Business.

XWiki supports co-creation, distributed and community-based collaboration and is suited for small teams, organizational settings and multi-organization networks in remote and hybrid settings.

XWiki is classified as a well-documented tool, indicating broad adoption and available documentation. It is open source (licensed under LGPL 2.1), available on Web.
