Welcome to the Strongbox artifact repository manager's home.

General

Strongbox is a modern OSS artifact repository manager. With a well-developed architecture, it provides native implementations for various layout formats, such as Maven, NPM, NuGet, and Raw.

All of the implemented layout formats (a.k.a. "layout providers") are written natively in Java. Our goal is to implement a universal repository manager that can host and serve artifacts in every mainstream format.

Strongbox has a search engine and an Artifact Query Language.
