A Domain Specific Language (DSL) is a small language optimized for a specific domain.
For example the dot language of Graphviz allows
you to write a textual description of a graph which is then transformed
into a picture by one of the graphviz tools (such as dot
). A simple
graph looks like this:
graph {
graph [bgcolor="yellow"]
a [color="red"]
b [color="blue"]
a -- b [color="green"]
}
Putting this in a file example.dot
and running dot example.dot -T png -o example.png
creates an image example.png
with red and blue circle
connected by a green line on a yellow background.
Create a DSL similar to the dot language.
