Amaya was an experimental web browser and HTML editor developed by the W3C from 1996 to 2013. Amaya integrated many standards that are often not yet implemented by the popular browsers. This browser supported XHTML , MathML or SVG before most other browsers . The project also experimented with the semantic web under the name Annotea . Since Amaya mastered all of these standards at the time, the browser was often used for demonstration purposes.

Because of its diverse possibilities at the time to interpret different markup languages according to the standard defined by the W3C , Amaya was often used for reference purposes, for example to test the accessibility of websites.

Similar to the wiki principle, with Amaya you could not only view websites , but also create or change them. The files are uploaded with the HTTP request PUT .

Amaya was most recently available for Microsoft Windows 2000 or higher, Linux , Mac OS X and other Unix derivatives .
