Various widget platforms exist, but the principles that apply to one generally apply to the others. Wookie, writes Tony Hirst, "is an Apache (incubating) project that is making huge inroads as an implementation of the W3C widget specification." They resemble what we now call apps. "The Wookie platfrom essentially provides a W3C widgets compliant packaging format around bundle of zipped up HTML, Javascript and CSS files that implement an app typically designed to fit in a sidebar or fill the screen of a mobile device."
