Domain Specific Languages (DSLs)

Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) are specialized languages that are targeted for a specific problem area or domain. These rely on the jargons of domain experts and provide fluency for them to communicate with your application. There are two types of DSLsexternal and internal. While internal DSLs rely on a host language they currently lack tools for validation. External DSLs on the other hand require parsing, but can benefit from good validation before processing. In this presentation you'll learn about DSLs, their characteristics, and how to edit, parse, and validate external DSLs using Java based tools.
