XUL which is pronounced zool stands for <b>X</b>ML <b>U</b>ser Interface <b>L</b>anguage is a Mark-up language used primarily in Mozilla applications.  It allows for the creation of feature rich visually appealing cross platform applications to be easily created and maintained for online or offline use.
 
 
==Discussion==
 
XUL is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xml XML] language and thus has the advantages of inserting other XML languages into it such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xhtml XHTML], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MathML MathML] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svg SVG]. Also because of its localized structure it can be easily translated into other languages.
 
 
XUL is commonly used for creating feature rich widgets and user-interfaces such as:
 
    * textboxes and inputs
 
    * Toolbars and buttons
 
    * navigation menus
 
    * Tabbed windowing systems
 
    * Keyboard Mnunomics and input handling
