# Bastille

Bastille is a [Java](java.md) library which extends [Berlioz](berlioz.md) to better integrate with PageSeeder and provide common functionalities for websites.

In particular, it provides the following:

- Connectors to PageSeeder.
- Sign in and sign out from PageSeeder through an external website.
- Indexing and search generators for Berlioz.
- XML generators for Berlioz.
- Web optimization (minimizing, caching).
