What Is Curl Technology?
Curl Corporation provides the Surge plug-in and the Surge
Lab IDE, for viewing and creating content written in the Curl
Content Language. Users need the Surge plug-in to view Curl
content in their browser. Authors will also need the Surge Lab
IDE to create Curl content.
The terms Curl Surge plug-in, Surge plug-in, and plug-in are
used interchangeably, as are the terms Curl Content language,
and just Curl. Curl, Surge, and Surge Lab are trademarks of
Curl Corporation.
This chapter is an overview of each component. Successive
chapters cover each component in detail.
Curl content language
Curl combines the worlds of document markup, scripting, and
object-oriented programming into a single language. Curl
sprung from MIT’s famed Laboratory for Computer Science
and later was spun off into Curl Corporation (
www.curl.com
).
