Amaya (formerly Amaya World) was a free and open source WYSIWYG web authoring tool with browsing abilities.
It was created by a structured editor project at the INRIA, a French national research institution, and later adopted by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) as their testbed for web standards; a role it took over from the Arena web browser. Since the last release in January 2012, INRIA and the W3C have stopped supporting the project and active development has ceased.
Amaya has relatively low system requirements, even in comparison with other web browsers from the era of its active development period, so it has been considered a "lightweight" browser.
Ramzi Guetari joined the team in October 1996. Daniel Veillard was responsible for the integration of CSS in Amaya and maintained the Linux version.
The last change of code of Amaya was on Feb 22, 2013.
Amaya originated as a direct descendant of the Grif WYSIWYGSGML editor created by Vincent Quint and Irène Vatton at INRIA in the early 1980s, and of the HTML editor Symposia, itself based on Grif, both developed and sold by French software company Grif SA.
Originally designed as a structured text editor (predating SGML) and later as an HTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) editor, it was then expanded to include XML-based capabilities such as XHTML,MathML and Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).
