Abstract
In this paper, we present a summary of XCSP3, together with its ecosystem. XCSP3 is a format used to build integrated representations of combinatorial constrained problems. Interestingly, XCSP3 preserves the structure of models, by handling arrays of variables and groups/blocks of constraints, which makes it rather unique in the literature. Furthermore, the ecosystem of XCSP3 is well supplied: it includes companion tools (parsers and checkers), a website with a search engine for selecting and downloading instances, and competitions of solvers. The Java-based modeling API, called JvCSP3, is the last developed piece of this complete production chain.
期刊介绍：
Constraints provides a common forum for the many disciplines interested in constraint programming and constraint satisfaction and optimization, and the many application domains in which constraint technology is employed. It covers all aspects of computing with constraints: theory and practice, algorithms and systems, reasoning and programming, logics and languages.
