THE MODEL XPCOM is one of the main things that makes the Mozilla application environment an actual framework. It is a development environment that provides the following features for the cross-platform software developer:
This component object model makes virtually all of the functionality of , PerlConnect provides support for Perl , and there are efforts underway to add .NET and Ruby language support for XPConnect. On the developer side, XPCOM lets you write components in C++, C, JavaScript, Python, or other languages for which special bindings have been created, and compile and run those components on dozens of different platforms, including these and others where Mozilla itself is supported. The flexibility to reuse the XPCOM components from the Gecko library and develop new components that run on different platforms facilitates Rapid Application Development and results in an application that is more productive and easier to maintain. The networking library, for example, is a set of XPCOM components that can be accessed and used by any Mozilla application. File I/O, security, password management, and profiles are also separate XPCOM components that programmers can use in their own application development. REFERENCES
