Again, SpiderMonkey is a JavaScript engine. However, a JavaScript engine is
not what the OP is looking for because this is not about the programming
language but about APIs ("the object model"). Instead, they are looking for
an XUL or COM component.

I believe that spidermonkey can be used to do exactly what the OP
requests. That is what it does in Firefox, after all.

I understood the OP that they want to expose the object model as an API to
other applications, not to the application itself.

If the application is in Java than Mozilla's Rhino would be the
obvious choice.

Iff internal scripting would be what is wanted. Only the OP can clarify this.
