WebSiphon

WebSiphon is a World Wide Web application server and software development tool used to create dynamic, data-driven web sites. WebSiphon was developed by Purity Software for the Mac OS operating system, with version 1.0 released publicly in 1996.

WebSiphon combines the proprietary SiphonScript scripting language with connectivity to several databases, including MySQL, FileMaker, and ODBC-compliant databases, as well as its own integrated flat file database, called Verona.

WebSiphon features functionality found in scripting-based application servers as well as traditional CGI. A developer can embed SiphonScript in HTML documents or execute a function in a stand-alone SiphonScript package.
