What does "nib" and "xib" stand for?

Asked 2009-04-08T10:56:23.967

I wonder why that file extension is called nib or xib.

I guess that the ib in nib is Interface Builder.

But the n? Or the x? Any idea?

iphone xcode

I think the "n" would mean NextStep, the "x" was added to indicate the new XML based format.
