+# XDS - X(cross) Development System Server
+
+`xds-server` is a web server that allows user to remotely cross build applications.
+
+- The first goal is to provide a multi-platform cross development tool with near-zero installation.
+- The second goal is to keep application sources locally (on user's machine).
+  - Make it compatible with existing IT policies (e.g. corporate backup or SCM).
+  - Let user to continue to work as usual.
+    - Use his favorite editor.
+    - keep performance while editing/browsing sources.
+    - Avoids manual operation
+
+This powerful and portable webserver (written in [Go](https://golang.org))
+exposes a REST interface over HTTP.
+
+`xds-server` uses [Syncthing](https://syncthing.net/) tool to synchronize
+projects files from user machine to build server machine or container.
+
+`xds-server` is commonly running on a build server (within a container or not)
+and [xds-agent](../2_xds-agent/0_abstract.html) must run on the developer/user machine in order
+to setup the following connection chain:
+
+```schema
+    developer/user machine  |  build server or container
+ ---------------------------|-----------------------------
+  xds-cli <---> xds-agent <-|-> xds-server
+```
+
+**SEE ALSO**: [xds-cli](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=src/xds/xds-cli.git),
+a command-line tool that allows you to send commands to `xds-agent / xds-server`
+and for example build your application from command-line or from your favorite
+IDE (such as Netbeans or Visual Studio Code) through `xds-agent <=> xds-server`.
