Operator is an extension for the Mozilla Firefox web browser. It parses and acts upon a number of microformats, as well as validating them.

It has native support for several microformats:

• adr (adr spec) (postal addresses)
• hCard (contact/ address information)
• hCalendar (events)
• Geo (geographic coordinates)
• rel-tag

and is extensible, in that users can add new actions for the included microformats, or specify additional microformat recognition.

Operator was written by Mike Kaply of IBM, and will form the basis for native microformat support in Firefox 3.
