The CQ5 technology stack is based on THREE technologies. These technologies are: Apache Sling, OSGI (Apache Felix), and the JAVA Content Repository (JCR). Apache Sling is a RESTful framework that is used to access a jcr over http protocol. It will then MAP that request url to the node in the jcr. OSGI is a framework that is used for modular application development using Java.

Each module, which is called a bundle, can be stopped and started independently during runtime. The Java Content Repository uses the JSR-170 API to access the content repository by using Java independently of the PHYSICAL implementation. CQ5 uses its own implementation of the jcr called CRX.
