XSP is a special kind of computer program. It works like a simple web server. A web server is a computer that stores website files and sends them to your web browser when you want to visit a website.
XSP was created using a programming language called C#. It helps run websites that use something called ASP.NET. This is a system made by Microsoft for building web applications.
XSP is mainly used on computers that run Linux and other similar operating systems. It can also work with the Mono system or the .NET Framework. This means it can be used on many different types of computers. It's known for being a "lightweight" server, which means it doesn't need a lot of computer power to run.
The Name XSP
The name XSP has a cool history. It was actually the first name for the project at Microsoft that later became ASP.NET. So, the name XSP for this web server is like a nod to its past. It reminds people of where the idea for ASP.NET first started.
