What is xul and xul runner?

Question

I just installed songbird: it has a fantastic user interface. Then I read it using XUL, the core of Mozilla Firefox.

Ok, but I don’t understand: Is Songbird the desktop interface behind the web interface? What is XUL? Library?

What can I do with XUL? GUI / desktop application interface, e.g. web application (HTML + JS + ...)?
