Carbon (API)
Carbon
is one of
Apple Inc.
's
C-based
application programming interfaces
(APIs) for the
Macintosh
operating system
. Carbon provided a good degree of backward compatibility for
program
s that ran on the now-obsolete
Mac OS 8
and
9
. Developers could use the Carbon APIs to port their "classic" Mac software to the
Mac OS X
platform with far less effort than a port to the entirely different
Cocoa
system, which originated in
OPENSTEP
.
