Carbon is Apple Computer's set of C++ libraries that allows application programs to run natively in either Mac OS X or earlier versions of Mac OS. Without Carbon, applications can run only in earlier versions of Mac OS (or in the Classic environment within Mac OS X). Carbon is now been retired, in favor of the new Cocoa application framework, which can run only in Mac OS X, not in earlier versions of Mac OS.

There are also Carbon applications that only run on Mac OS X, such as iTunes 3, and one of the biggest being Microsoft Office v.X. Carbon is also used as the basis for a number of application frameworks for MacOS, including Metrowerks Powerplant, MacApp and MacZoop.
