The Browser Compatibility API was a project to support compatibility data on the Mozilla Developer Network. This currently takes the form of browser compatibility tables, such as the one on the CSS display property page. The API would centralize this data, and allow it to be kept consistent across languages and presentations.

The project started in December 2013. The initial goals and requirements are documented on the MozillaWiki_.
