Amaya (formerly Amaya World ) is a WYSIWYG web authoring tool with no open and free resources with browsing capabilities.

It was created by a structured editor project at INRIA, the French national research institute, and subsequently adopted by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) as their test site for web standards; role taken over from the Arena web browser. Since the last release in January 2012, INRIA and W3C have stopped supporting the project and active development has stopped.

Amaya has relatively low system requirements, even when compared to other web browsers from the era of its active development, so it is considered a "lightweight" browser.

Timeback timeline

Amaya comes from a direct descendant of the WMLSI editor WYSIWYG SGML made by Vincent Quint and IrÃÆ'¨ne Vatton at INRIA in the early 1980s, and from the Symposia HTML editor, itself based on Grif, both developed and sold by the company French software, Grif SA.

Originally designed as a structured text editor (preceding SGML) and later as an HTML editor and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), it was later expanded to include XML-based capabilities such as XHTML, MathML and Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).

Test bed app

It's used as a test-bed for new web technologies that are not supported in the main browser.

Amaya is the first client to support an RDF annotation scheme using XPointer. The browser is available for Linux, Windows (NT and 95), Mac OS X, AmigaOS, SPARC/Solaris, AIX, OSF/1.

Naming and logos

Amaya was previously called Tamaya . Tamaya was the name of the tree species represented in the logo, but it was later discovered that Tamaya was also a trademark used by the French company, so the developers chose to drop the first letter to make it "Amaya".
