# Introduction

1. **Implementation Language**: Casbin is implemented in Golang, while Xkit is implemented in TypeScript, making the former suitable for applications written in Go and the latter for applications written in JavaScript environments.
2. **License**: Casbin is licensed under Apache 2.0, allowing for more permissive use, modification, and distribution, whereas Xkit is under a commercial license, which may involve licensing fees for certain use cases.
3. **Focus**: Casbin primarily focuses on access control and permission management, providing functionalities like RBAC, ABAC, and PBAC, whereas Xkit is an automation platform that helps organizations streamline workflow automation and integration processes.
4. **Community Support**: Casbin has a larger open-source community contributing to its development, providing more resources, documentation, and support, while Xkit, being more commercially oriented, may offer dedicated support but to a narrower user base.
5. **Deployment**: Both Casbin and Xkit can be deployed in various environments, but Casbin is more commonly integrated with on-premises systems due to security concerns, while Xkit is often used for cloud-based or SaaS applications.
6. **Integration Partners**: Xkit may have more integration partners and connectors available to simplify the implementation process, while Casbin may require more customization for specific use cases and integrations.

In Summary, the key differences between Casbin and Xkit lie in their implementation language, license, focus, community support, deployment options, and integration partners.

What is Casbin?

In Casbin, an access control model is abstracted into a CONF file based on the PERM metamodel (Policy, Effect, Request, Matchers). So switching or upgrading the authorization mechanism for a project is just as simple as modifying a configuration. You can customize your own access control model by combining the available models.

What is Xkit?

Xkit manages the process of getting authorization to connect to your users' 3rd party SaaS apps so you can focus on building your integrations.
