Text Control offers a variety of products, packages and technologies to integrate powerful document processing into web applications.

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](https://www.textcontrol.com/product/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](https://www.textcontrol.com/product/tx-text-control-dotnet-server/) or [DS Server](https://www.textcontrol.com/product/ds-server/). If you are running anything else such as Apache or Tomcat, [DS Server](https://www.textcontrol.com/product/ds-server/) is the perfect fit.
3. **Features**: Integrated assemblies or Web API?  
    Using [TX Text Control .NET Server](https://www.textcontrol.com/product/tx-text-control-dotnet-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](https://www.textcontrol.com/product/ds-server/), task-oriented [Web APIs](https://docs.textcontrol.com/textcontrol/ds-server/webref.documentprocessing.htm) are available to call document processing methods.
4. **Deployment**: Fully integrated or "out-of-the-box"?  
    Using [TX Text Control .NET Server](https://www.textcontrol.com/product/tx-text-control-dotnet-server/), all assemblies, dependencies and the required backend (WebSocketHandler and TCP Windows Service) must be part of your application. Using [DS Server](https://www.textcontrol.com/product/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.
