Operator was an extension for the Mozilla Firefox web browser. [1] [2] It parses [2] and acts upon a number of microformats, [1] [2] [3] as well as validating them. [2]
Operator lets the user access microformats through a number of methods, all of which are optional: a toolbar, a toolbar button, a status bar icon, a location bar icon, or a sidebar.
It has native support for several microformats:
and is extensible, [5] in that users can add new actions for the included microformats, or specify additional microformat recognition.
Operator was written by Mike Kaply of IBM. [6] It forms the basis for Firefox 3's microformats API, [5] [7] allowing native support, but has no direct user interface, due to lack of consensus on the implementation in the GUI. [5]
