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.

Java Portlets are pluggable user interface software components that are managed and displayed in a web portal.
