Amaya (formerly Amaya World)[6] is a discontinued free and open source WYSIWYG web authoring tool[7] with browsing abilities.

It was created by a structured editor project at the INRIA, a French national research institution, and later adopted by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) as their testbed for web standards;[8] a role it took over from the Arena web browser.[9][10][11] Since the last release in January 2012, INRIA and the W3C have stopped supporting the project and active development has ceased.[12][13]

Amaya has relatively low system requirements, even in comparison with other web browsers from the era of its active development period, so it has been considered a "lightweight" browser.[14]
