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.

Apache Struts is an open-source MVC framework for creating modern Java web applications.

It features a plugin architecture supporting REST, AJAX, and JSON, a robust interceptor stack, POJO-based actions, simplified configuration through XML scanning, custom tag libraries, and modular extensions.
