XSP is a simple, standalone web server written in C# that hosts ASP.NET's System for Linux[1] and other Unix operating systems. It runs on the Mono runtime for Linux and the .NET Framework runtime, making it usable as a lightweight web server on any platform supporting .NET.[2]

XSP was the original name of the internal project at Microsoft that became ASP.NET. The name pays homage to the original name of what became ASP.NET.[citation needed]

XSP is commonly used as a lightweight host for ASP.NET applications during development and testing, providing a minimal web server environment that supports the System.Web facilities of the Mono runtime. It is often employed in situations where a full production‑grade server is not required, such as experimenting with ASP.NET features or running simple web applications in cross‑platform environments.[3]
