The command "xsp" is related to the Mono Project, which is an open-source implementation of Microsoft's .NET framework. "xsp" stands for "XSP Server", where XSP refers to "eXperimental Stream Protocol".
The "xsp" command is used to start the XSP server, which is a lightweight, web server specifically designed for hosting ASP.NET applications. It allows you to run and test ASP.NET applications without requiring a full-fledged web server like Apache or IIS.
When you execute the "xsp" command, it starts the XSP server on the specified port (or default port 8080 if not specified). It listens for incoming HTTP requests and serves the corresponding ASP.NET pages or resources.
Using "xsp", you can quickly set up a local development environment for ASP.NET applications, making it easier to debug and test your code before deploying it to a production server.
