Security
Xaraya has a robust security system. User input is filtered, and can be validated against many formats, which can
optionally be chained. Privileges of various levels are assigned to roles (either individual users, or groups). A
privileges consists of a module, item type, and an instance mask, which is defined by the module according to its
needs.
Templating system
Xaraya has a templating system developed specially for it, known as BlockLayout [3] . This makes it possible to
customize most features of a website developed using Xaraya.
Block Layout supports the complete separation of code and layout. The output templates are written in XML, with
'xar' namespace tags providing variable access, looping constructs, conditional constructs and inclusion of
sub-templates. The output from the standard themes are XHTML and RSS, though any other type of output can be
generated.
Branches
Xaraya currently has two development branches. The original branch, known alternatively as "1x" or "Aruba",
supports both PHP4 and PHP5. A newer branch which supports only PHP5, is known as "2x" or "Jamaica".
