Balana is an Open source XACML (3.0/2.0/1.1/1.0) library. It is basically PDP. Once XACML request can be fed in to this library, XACML result can be retrieved based on the defined policies. You can find more details on Balana from this web site. PEP is an separate component from the PDP and it basically within the application level. Balana has and util library to create XACML request and even policies. where you can find it from here. Also Balana library is used by WSO2 Identity Server (open source )which can be actually used as PDP/PAP/PIP server. Also this server contains a simple UI to create XACML requests and policies (that uses Balana utility library). Please find more details from here
