XAF

XAF is the ISO 4217 code for the Central African CFA franc, the currency used by six member states of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC). The Bank of Central African States (BEAC) issues banknotes and coins in XAF. The currency circulates alongside the subunit centimes; XAF is pegged to the euro at a fixed rate (1 euro ≈ 655.957 XAF) and is fully convertible within the CFA franc zone. The fixed-rate arrangement is designed to promote monetary stability and facilitate trade among member countries, though monetary policy is coordinated through BEAC and aligned with CEMAC commitments.

XAF, or eXpressApp Framework, is a framework from DevExpress for building data-centric business applications on the .NET platform. It provides a model-driven, metadata-based architecture that allows developers to define the user interface and business logic declaratively. The framework supports multiple UI targets and enables rapid generation of standard application components such as security, navigation, lists, detail views, reporting, and data persistence. XAF integrates with common .NET ORMs and can be extended with modular add-ons; it is designed to streamline development of enterprise applications with consistent architecture across web and desktop environments.

The term XAF thus has distinct meanings in finance and software development, and the intended reference typically depends on the context.
