TreeDL (original) (raw)

Tree Description Language (TreeDL) is a computer language for description of strictly-typed tree data structures and operations on them. The main use of TreeDL is in the development of language-oriented tools (compilers, translators, etc.) for the description of a structure of abstract syntax trees. Tree description can be used as * a documentation of interface between parser and other subsystems; * a source for generation of data types representing a tree in target programming languages; * a source for generation of various support code: visitors, walkers, factories, etc.
