Software developer James Clark has dropped his XML technology into "mozilla," Netscape's free source code, adding the first major, independently developed technology to the code since it was released.
Clark is the technical lead of the XML working group at the World Wide Web Consortium and one of the original creators of the markup language. It is code-named "Expat."
"The parser developed by James is widely regarded as the most sophisticated XML parser that's available today," Netscape spokesman Dave Bottoms said. "The branded version [of Communicator] will draw from the source base managed by mozilla, so you can guess that this is ultimately going to be in there."
