Cocoon is a Java servlet for the automatic creation of HTML through the processing of statically or dynamically generated XML files. Cocoon is also able to perform more sophisticated formatting, such as XSL:FO rendering on PDF, WML formatting for WAP-enabled devices, or direct XML serving to XML and XSL-aware clients.

The Cocoon project aims to change the way web information is created, rendered and served by completely separating document content, style and logic.

Cocoon requires several packages to work (including Xerces and Xalan), but proper versions of all the required binary libraries are included inside the Cocoon distribution.
