Gain Flexibility and Extensibility with an Open Architecture
The point of a standard like XML from the Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C) is to promote and enable interoperability – allowing even totally disparate systems to communicate. Not only does Sitecore CMS support open standards like XML, it’s built on an open architecture that gives you unprecedented flexibility and extensibility.
Sitecore believes in giving you choices. Sitecore provides a rich layer of APIs that number more than 1,300. Our own product is based on these APIs, and it's one of the most robust and feature-rich API sets in the industry. Sitecore exposes every facet of our CMS to you as a developer, and even allows you to reach into the core configuration and develop your own extension and modifications.
