OCaml combinators for manipulating HTML, CSS, XML, JSON, and Markdown directly from OCaml code.
Caml on the Web (COW) is an OCaml library that provides parsers and syntax extensions for manipulating web formats like HTML, CSS, XML, JSON, and Markdown directly from OCaml code. It solves the problem of working with multiple web technologies by offering type-safe combinators within a single OCaml environment.
OCaml developers building web applications or tools that need to generate, parse, or transform web content formats.
Developers choose COW for its type-safe approach to web content manipulation, eliminating format-switching and providing OCaml's reliability when working with HTML, XML, JSON, CSS, and Markdown.
Caml on the Web (COW) is a set of parsers and syntax extensions to let you manipulate HTML, CSS, XML, JSON and Markdown directly from OCaml code.

Provides OCaml combinators for HTML, XML, JSON, and more, ensuring compile-time safety when manipulating web formats, as highlighted in its key features for avoiding common errors.
Integrates support for HTML, CSS, XML, JSON, and Markdown in one library, simplifying workflows by reducing the need for external tools across different web technologies.
Offers OCaml syntax extensions for embedding web content directly in code, making development more expressive and aligned with OCaml's philosophy, as noted in the features list.
Used in projects like the Mirage website and Opam2web, demonstrating practical application and some community adoption despite the beta status.
The library is explicitly in beta, meaning it may have bugs, breaking changes, and is not yet stable enough for production-critical applications.
Full documentation is still being written, as admitted in the README, which can slow down onboarding and troubleshooting for new users.
Tied to the OCaml ecosystem, it lacks the extensive tooling, plugins, and community support found in more popular web development libraries.
