XUL (XML User Interface Language) is a markup language developed by the Mozilla Project for building lightweight, cross-platform user interfaces in applications like Firefox. It enables the creation of interfaces without the need for extensive libraries, reusing W3C standards such as CSS and JavaScript. Key features include support for various input controls, menus, and document elements, tailored for internet-enabled devices.
