# Envoy
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
**Envoy** is a messenger written in Java.<br>
|
||
|
|
It is split into three separate components: Envoy Client, Envoy Common and Envoy Server.
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
### Envoy Client:
|
||
|
|
This is the only part users are interested in. It contains everything to make this messenger work: the UI.
|
||
|
|
### Envoy Server:
|
||
|
|
Envoy offers the option to download and host your own server over which Envoy can run.<br>
|
||
|
|
This part will be especially appealing to institutions/organizations who want to self-host Envoy.
|
||
|
|
### Envoy Common:
|
||
|
|
This part contains elements that both the client and the server need. It will be automatically part of either one (Thanks, Maven!).
