Goanna is a web browser engine used in applications developed by Moonchild Productions (notably the Pale Moon web browser and their FossaMail e-mail client). Goanna is free and open-source software subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public License version 2. Goanna is a fork of the Netscape/Mozilla-sourced Gecko engine, and shares many of its features. It is designed to support open Internet standards, and is used by different applications to display web pages and, in some cases, an application's user interface itself (by rendering XUL). Like Gecko, Goanna offers a rich programming API that makes it suitable for a wide variety of roles in Internet-enabled applications, such as web browsers, content presentation, and client/server applications. Goanna is written primarily in C++ and is cross-platform, and runs on various operating systems including Linux, OS X and Microsoft Windows. Its development is overseen by the Pale Moon community and the small development team responsible for its main application (Pale Moon). ==History== Development of the layout engine known as Goanna, in its current form, began early in 2015, following the increasing divergence of individual development in the Mozilla-forked Pale Moon browser where significant changes were already made to the Gecko engine, and increasing concern about both confusion and legal issues that might arise from carrying the Gecko registered trademark name (Owned by Netscape and licensed to the Mozilla Foundation〔(【引用サイトリンク】Mozilla Trademark Policy FAQ )〕) led to the developers forking Gecko into their own-branded derivative. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Goanna (software)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
