ActiveState Komodo is the name given to a family of integrated development environment (IDE) applications produced by software firm ActiveState.

Komodo IDE is an IDE for dynamic programming languages built on the Mozilla platform. It supports dynamic languages, including JavaScript, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Tcl; framework stacks like Ruby on Rails and CakePHP; and client libraries such as the Yahoo! UI Library and Dojo.
ActiveState added browser-side support in Komodo IDE 4.0, including debugging, DOM viewer, catalog support, HTTP Inspector, and code intelligence for languages such as JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and XML, enabling programmers to edit and debug Ajax code and multi-language files.
Komodo IDE, although not Open Source, is extensible using standard Mozilla APIs based on XUL, XBL, and XPCOM, plus Python and JavaScript.
Komodo IDE is available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows platforms.
Komodo Edit is a free text editor for dynamic programming languages introduced in January 2007.
Komodo Edit inherits many features of Komodo IDE, like the full range of supported languages (Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Tcl) and platforms (Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows ). And like Komodo IDE, Komodo Edit also supports browser-side languages like JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and XML.
It was developed for programmers who need a multi-language editor with broad functionality, but not the features of an IDE, like debugging, DOM viewer, interactive shells, and source code control integration.
In late 2007, ActiveState announced that Komodo Edit would be developed as a free software project. The new project is known as OpenKomodo.
