+Etherpad is written in JavaScript(99.9%) on both the server and client so it's easy for developers to maintain and add new features.  Because of this Etherpad has tons of customizations that you can leverage.
 
 Etherpad is designed to be easily embeddable and provides a [HTTP API](https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/wiki/HTTP-API)
 that allows your web application to manage pads, users and groups. It is recommended to use the [available client implementations](https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/wiki/HTTP-API-client-libraries) in order to interact with this API.
