Text Control offers a variety of products, packages and technologies to integrate powerful document processing into web applications. Whether you need to add true WYSIWYG document editing, document sharing and collaboration or digital signatures to your business workflows - Text Control provides solutions for all requirements.

The diagram below helps to find the right product for your Text Control based web application.

1. Front End: Document editor and viewer
   Text Control provides front-end packages (npm, NuGet) for many supported client-side frameworks including Angular, React and ASP.NET. If you want to use React, vanilla JavaScript, PHP or any other client-side framework, DS Server is the right product choice.

2. Back End: ASP.NET or something else?
   If you are running ASP.NET (Core) as your backend, you can select between TX Text Control .NET Server or DS Server. If you are running anything else such as Apache or Tomcat, DS Server is the perfect fit.

3. Features: Integrated assemblies or Web API?
   Using TX Text Control .NET Server, you get the full flexibility of the TX Text Control API ( ServerTextControl and MailMerge ) and the assemblies are part of your application. With DS Server, task-oriented Web APIs are available to call document processing methods.

4. Deployment: Fully integrated or "out-of-the-box"?
   Using TX Text Control .NET Server, all assemblies, dependencies and the required backend (WebSocketHandler and TCP Windows Service) must be part of your application. Using DS Server, your application is independent from TX Text Control. Document processing functionality is provided by the "out-of-the-box" container (DS Server) that is hosted separately on your premises.
