What is it?
-----------
- Apache Cocoon is a web development framework built around the concept
- of separation of concerns (that is: allowing people to do their job
- without having to step on each other toes) and component-oriented web
- RAD.
-
- Cocoon implements these concepts around the notion of 'component
- pipelines' modelled after the 'process chain' concept where each
- worker specializes on a particular operation. This makes it possible
- to use a Lego(tm)-like approach in building web solutions where
- these components can be hooked together into pipelines without
- requiring further programming.
-
- We like to think at Cocoon as "web glue" for your web application
- development needs. But most important, a glue that can keep
- concerns separate and allow parallel evolution of the two sides,
