Xtext? Xtext is a framework for development of external textual DSLs. A domain specific language (DSL) in the context of modeling is a formal, processable language targeting at a specific viewpoint or aspect of a software system. Its semantics, flexibility and notation is designed in order to support working with that viewpoint as good as possible.

DSLs in real world scenarios modeling data describe architectures conﬁguration business rules documentation data mappings navigation on object graphs constraints knitting patterns ...

Language development has never been so easy.
