The Spoofax Language Workbench¶
Spoofax is a platform for developing textual (domain-specific) programming languages. The platform provides the following ingredients:
- Meta-languages for high-level declarative language definition
- An interactive environment for developing languages using these meta-languages
- Code generators that produces parsers, type checkers, compilers, interpreters, and other tools from language definitions
- Generation of full-featured Eclipse editor plugins from language definitions
- An API for programmatically combining the components of a language implementation
With Spoofax you can focus on the essence of language definition and ignore irrelevant implementation details.
Get started by downloading and installing Spoofax or build it from source.
