CougarXML is an XML parser written in JavaScript using an object-oriented approach (OOP). This library parses XML code and converts it into an object that can be manipulated with the DOM Level 3 standard API (W3C). It was released in March 2009 on the Google Code platform by Massimiliano Guastafierro.
CougarXML is free and open source software (FOSS), licensed under the Mozilla Public License 1.1.
