WSO2 Carbon platform is the base framework for all WSO2 products and Cloud services. It's based on java OSGi(Open Service Gateway initiative) and it's 100% open source. WSO2 Carbon is lean, consistent, modular, componentized middleware platform for enterprise softwares. The Carbon platform consists of a powerful core set of components and numerous product-specific components that are plugged together to provide a unique set of products.
One of the main characteristic of carbon components is that they can be easily decoupled. Carbon components can be added or removed from any given carbon instance easily because of this decoupling characteristic.
