IIIF has developed several standards.
These servers support the IIIF Image API. Some may also have support for the Presentation API.
- Loris written in Python.
- IIPImage Server high performance image server.
- riiif written in Ruby as a Rails engine.
- SIPI IIIFv2 image server written in C++.
- RAIS 100% open source tile server for JP2 images written in Go.
- digilib image server written in Java.
- Cantaloupe image server written in Java.
- iiif_s3 Ruby library for generating a static IIIF level 0 Image and Presentation API server on Amazon S3.
- Hymir IIIF Server IIIF server written in Java supporting IIIF Image and Presentation API.
- go-iiif IIIF server written in go (fork of greut/iiif).
These shims allow you to use an image server that does not currently support IIIF. If you have not implemented an image server yet, this is probably not where you want to start.
- Djatoka Ruby gem convert IIIF URLs into the URLs that Djatoka requires.
- Shimmy is a Ruby gem designed to help you build shims for the IIIF Presentation API.
- ContentDM Image translator makes ContentDM images available through IIIF. Python.
- Flask-IIIF Flask extension to support IIIF in Python/Flask applications. See Flask-IIIF previewer demo and Flask-IIIF RESTful demo.
- Universal Viewer is a rich embeddable interface.
- OpenSeadragon has IIIF tile support.
- Scalebar Plugin OpenSeadragon plugin for physical scale overlay.
- Imaging Helper Plugin OpenSeadragon plugin with utility functions.
- Leaflet-IIIF lightweight, extensible IIIF image viewer.
- Mirador multi-up workspace.
- Diva.js IIIF image viewer optimized for speed and flexibility.
- iiif-image-api Java IIIF Image API libraries.
- piffle Python library for generating and parsing IIIF Image API URLs.
- iiif_url Ruby library for creating and parsing IIIF Image API URLs.
- Manifesto IIIF Presentation API client and server utility library.
- Manifold Wraps Manifesto to provide viewer state and related utilities.
- O'Sullivan Ruby API for creating IIIF manifests.
- iiif-prezi Python library providing a reference implementation.
- iiif-presentation-api Java IIIF Presentation API libraries.
- tabula-rasa npm module for creating and manipulating IIIF manifests.
- iiif-tree-component IIIF tree menu sortable by date with multi-select capability.
- Tripoli IIIF Presentation API 2.0+ validation library.
These shims allow you to use systems with presentation metadata (e.g. structure or sequences) that do not currently support IIIF. If you have not implemented the Presentation API yet, this is probably not where you want to start.
- Shimmy is a Ruby gem designed to help you build shims for the IIIF Presentation API, and has samples for NYPL, Flickr, and the US National Archives.
