Glossary

XML

The eXtensible Markup Language, a metastandard for all kinds of textual infor-

mation. XML only specifies how data in the document is organized generally and
does not prescribe how to semantically organize content.

XPCOM

Mozilla Cross Platform Component Object Model, a programming infrastruc-

ture developed by the Mozilla browser project which is similar to Microsoft COM
and allows applications to provide a modular programming interface. VirtualBox
makes use of XPCOM on Linux both internally and externally to provide a com-
prehensive API to third-party developers.
