Go Content currently support three broad forms of content:

1. Textual content - files of text including HTML, plain text, etc.

2. Binary content - any non-textual file (e.g. sounds, images, videos)

3. SilverStream pages - active, Java-based pages developed within the SilverStream programming environment.

The Content architecture of Go Content is uniquely extensible. Java programmers can add new, rich content types to support the most complex types of content. For example, for a music application, a content type might be created which returns a sound file in low, medium or high-quality formats by processing the sound file in real-time.
