Mozilla has announced that it was hiving out its open-source Internet of Things (IoT) platform ‘WebThings’ as an independent project.
Mozilla has been working on a decentralized open IoT framework based on the W3C’s “web of things” (WoT) standards, one that enables software and services to communicate with each other across devices. Last year, that project graduated from an experimental project into a full-fledged project branded as Mozilla WebThings.
Mozilla said it was winding down its direct investment in WebThings and was transitioning control and responsibility to the community. The project will be renamed from “Mozilla WebThings” to “WebThings” and will move to a new home at webthings.io
