Editing Domain-specific language (section)

==Tools for designing domain-specific languages==
* [[JetBrains MPS]] is a tool for designing domain-specific languages. It uses [[Structure editor|projectional editing]] which allows overcoming the limits of language parsers and building DSL editors, such as ones with tables and diagrams. It implements language-oriented programming. MPS combines an environment for language definition, a [[language workbench]], and an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for such languages.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.jetbrains.com/mps/|title=JetBrains MPS: Domain-Specific Language Creator}}</ref>
* [[MontiCore]] is a language workbench for the efficient development of domain-specific languages. It processes an extended grammar format that defines the DSL and generates Java components for processing the DSL documents.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://monticore.github.io/monticore/|title=MontiCore}}</ref>
* [[Xtext]] is an open-source software framework for developing programming languages and domain-specific languages (DSLs). Unlike standard parser generators, Xtext generates not only a parser but also a class model for the abstract syntax tree. In addition, it provides a fully featured, customizable Eclipse-based IDE.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://eclipse.org/Xtext/|title=Xtext}}</ref> The project was archived in April 2023.
* [[Racket (programming language)|Racket]] is a cross-platform language toolchain including native code, JIT and JavaScript compiler, IDE (in addition to supporting Emacs, Vim, VSCode and others) and command line tools designed to accommodate creating both domain-specific and general purpose languages.<ref name="languages-as-libraries">{{cite conference
