About

Apache Cocoon was an open-source Java web application framework built around XML processing and retired in January 2025.

It used a pipeline architecture with generators, transformers, and serializers to convert XML into outputs such as HTML, PDF, and RTF, emphasized separation of content, logic, and presentation, and integrated with XSLT, XQuery, and the Spring framework.

Jakarta Server Pages (JSP) is a technology that enables developers to create dynamic web content using XML markup, custom tags, expression language, and Java.

It provides directives for page configuration, actions for controlling runtime behavior, scripting elements for inline Java code, a tag extension mechanism, and templates to separate logic from presentation.
