UEFIExtract, which uses ffsParser to parse supplied firmware image into a tree structure and dumps the parsed structure recursively on the FS.
UEFIExtract use UEFITool's engine:
UEFITool is a cross-platform open source application written in C++/Qt, that parses UEFI-compatible firmware image into a tree structure, verifies image's integrity and provides a GUI to manipulate image's elements.
Project development started in the middle of 2013 because of the lack of cross-platform open source utilities for tinkering with UEFI images.
