The latest version of Jigsaw features an architecture which aids in the evaluation of new Web protocols. Jigsaw also enables faster Web access by using HTTP/1.1 along with an open source implementation of the Java servlet interface. Jigsaw was developed using Java which means it is supported on most platforms. Because of its smart caching mechanisms, Jigsaw is at least as fast as the other popular Web servers.

Jigsaw was designed to simplify the process of implementing and evaluating new ideas for Web protocols and servers; new protocol parts can be added to the server without the need to restart it. The W3C has used Jigsaw to evaluate many technologies, including:
