Then there are converters, which do the conversion from one format to another. Each converter must be able to provide a list of all possible conversions it can do and also perform a conversion. Currently there are 3 different converters: XslConverter, TEIConverter and OOConverter. XslConverter and TEIConverter are using xsl style-sheets to convert between different form of XML documents. The main difference between them is that TEIConverter is used for a more complex conversions, e.g. conversions to and from docx and odt. The OOConverter is using a JODConverter library to start OpenOffice.org in a headless mode and then calls it to convert a document. More plug-ins (both converters and validators) can be added quite easily. If you are interested in this, I suggest reading http://enrich-ege.sourceforge.net/creation.html.

Web service is a servlet, that uses the framework to perform conversions. It is REST-full and you can control it simply using POST and GET request. First you need to send GET request asking for all the possible input formats. Then you need to send another GET request to get all possible output formats from a given input format. After this, you need to POST your file into a given URL and that's it. This can be particularly useful for batch processing a large number of files. For more information read . Of course, if you already know the URL for the conversion, it is enough to POST your file to this URL without having to go through all these steps.

The last important part of OxGarage is the web client. This is basically a user interface for the web service. The important thing about it is that it requires JavaScript to work. This web client simply sends GET and POST requests to web service and processes the responses.
