Komodo IDE is an IDE for dynamic programming languages. It was introduced in May 2000. Many of Komodo's features are derived from an embedded Python interpreter.[1]

Komodo IDE uses the Mozilla and Scintilla code base as they share many features and support the same languages (including Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby, Tcl, SQL, Smarty, CSS, HTML and XML) and computer platforms (Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows). The editor component is implemented using the NPAPI, with the Scintilla view embedded in the XUL interface in the same manner as a web browser plugin.

Komodo IDE has an open-source counter-part called Komodo Edit. Both share much of the same code base, Komodo IDE containing the more advanced IDE features such as debugging, unit testing, etc.

Both Komodo Edit and Komodo IDE support user customization through plug-ins and macros. Komodo plug-ins are based on Mozilla Add-ons and extensions can be searched for, downloaded, configured, installed and updated from within the application. Available extensions include a DOM inspector, pipe features, additional language support and user interface enhancements.

Komodo IDE has features such as integrated debugger support, DOM viewer, interactive shells, and source code control integration, as well as the ability to select the engine used to run regular expressions, in order to ensure compatibility with the final deployment target. The commercial version also adds code browsing, a database explorer, collaboration, support for many popular source code control systems, and more.[2] Independent implementations of some of these features, such as the database editor, git support, and remote FTP file access, are available in the free version through Komodo Edit's plugin system.
