General-purpose Markup Language
A general-purpose markup language is a markup language that is used for more than one purpose or situation. Other, more specialized domain-specific markup languages are often based upon these languages. For example, HTML 4.1 and earlier are domain-specific markup languages (for webpages), and are based on the syntax of SGML, which is a general-purpose markup language. List Notable general-purpose markup languages include: *ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One) * EBML * LML – general-purpose markup language for expressing markdown, variables, and expressions for machine-readable and executable legal documentation * GML – the predecessor of SGML *SGML – a predecessor of XML *TOML *XML – a stripped-down form of SGML *YAML * GLML – General-purpose Legal Markup Language See also *Comparison of document markup languages *General-purpose language *General-purpose modeling *General-purpose programming language *S-expression In computer programming, an S-expression (or symboli ...

Markup Language
A markup language is a Encoding, text-encoding system which specifies the structure and formatting of a document and potentially the relationships among its parts. Markup can control the display of a document or enrich its content to facilitate automated processing. A markup language is a set of rules governing what markup information may be included in a document and how it is combined with the content of the document in a way to facilitate use by humans and computer programs. The idea and terminology evolved from the "marking up" of paper manuscripts (e.g., with revision instructions by editors), traditionally written with a red pen or blue pencil (editing), blue pencil on authors' manuscripts. Older markup languages, which typically focus on typography and presentation, include Troff, TeX, and LaTeX. Scribe (markup language), Scribe and most modern markup languages, such as Extensible Markup Language, XML, identify document components (for example headings, paragraphs, and tabl ...

YAML
YAML ( ) is a human-readable data serialization language. It is commonly used for configuration files and in applications where data is being stored or transmitted. YAML targets many of the same communications applications as Extensible Markup Language (XML) but has a minimal syntax that intentionally differs from Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). It uses Python-style indentation to indicate nesting and does not require quotes around most string values (it also supports JSON style and mixed in the same file). Custom data types are allowed, but YAML natively encodes scalars (such as strings, integers, and floats), lists, and associative arrays (also known as maps, dictionaries or hashes). These data types are based on the Perl programming language, though all commonly used high-level programming languages share very similar concepts. The colon-centered syntax, used for expressing key-value pairs, is inspired by electronic mail headers as defined in , and the ...

S-expression
In computer programming, an S-expression (or symbolic expression, abbreviated as sexpr or sexp) is an expression in a like-named notation for nested List (computing), list (Tree (data structure), tree-structured) data. S-expressions were invented for, and popularized by, the programming language Lisp (programming language), Lisp, which uses them for source code as well as data. Characteristics In the usual parenthesized Syntax (programming languages), syntax of Lisp, an S-expression is classically definedJohn McCarthy (1960/2006)Recursive functions of symbolic expressions. Originally published in Communications of the ACM. as # an atom of the form ''x'', or # an Expression (computer science), expression of the form (''x'' . ''y'') where ''x'' and ''y'' are S-expressions. This definition reflects LISP's representation of a list as a series of "cells", each one an ordered pair. In plain lists, ''y'' points to the next cell (if any), thus forming a Linked list, list. The Recursi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |

General-purpose Programming Language
In computer software, a general-purpose programming language (GPL) is a programming language for building software in a wide variety of application Domain (software engineering), domains. Conversely, a Domain-specific language, domain-specific programming language (DSL) is used within a specific area. For example, Python (programming language), Python is a GPL, while SQL is a DSL for Query language, querying relational databases. History Early programming languages were designed for scientific computing (numerical calculations) or commercial data processing, as was computer hardware. Scientific languages such as Fortran and ALGOL, Algol supported floating-point calculations and multidimensional arrays, while business languages such as COBOL supported fixed-field file formats and record (computer science), data records. Much less widely used were specialized languages such as IPL-V and LISP for List (abstract data type), symbolic list processing; COMIT for string manipulation; APT ...

General-purpose Modeling
General-purpose modeling (GPM) is the systematic use of a general-purpose modeling language to represent the various facets of an object or a system. Examples of GPM languages are: * The Unified Modeling Language (UML), an industry standard for modeling software-intensive systems * EXPRESS, a data modeling language for product data, standardized as ISO 10303-11 * IDEF, a group of languages from the 1970s that aimed to be neutral, generic and reusable * Gellish, an industry standard natural language oriented modeling language for storage and exchange of data and knowledge, published in 2005 * XML, a data modeling language now beginning to be used to model code (MetaL, Microsoft .Ne GPM languages are in contrast with domain-specific modeling languages (DSMs). See also *Model-driven engineering Model-driven engineering (MDE) is a software development methodology that focuses on creating and exploiting domain models, which are conceptual model (computer science), conceptual model ...

General-purpose Language
A general-purpose language is a computer language that is broadly applicable across Domain (software engineering), application domains, and lacks specialized features for a particular domain. This is in contrast to a domain-specific language (DSL), which is specialized to a particular application domain. The line is not always sharp, as a language may have specialized features for a particular domain but be applicable more broadly, or conversely may in principle be capable of broad application but in practice used primarily for a specific domain. General-purpose languages are further subdivided by the kind of language, and include: * General-purpose markup languages, such as XML * General-purpose modeling language such as the Unified Modeling Language (UML) * General-purpose programming languages, such as C (programming language), C, Java (programming language), Java, PHP, or Python (programming language), Python References External links * {{computer science stub Prog ...

TOML
Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language (TOML, originally ''Tom's Own Markup Language'') is a file format for configuration files. It is intended to be easy to read and write due to obvious semantics which aim to be "minimal", and it is designed to map unambiguously to a dictionary. Originally created by Tom Preston-Werner, its specification is open source. TOML is used in a number of software projects and is implemented in many programming languages. Syntax TOML's syntax primarily consists of key = value pairs, ection names/code>, and # (for comments). TOML's syntax somewhat resembles that of .INI files, but it includes a formal specification, whereas the INI file format suffers from many competing variants. Its specification includes a list of supported data types: string, integer, float, boolean, datetime, array, and table. Example # This is a TOML document. title = "ImpalaPay Co." atabaseserver = "192.168.1.1" ports = 8000, 8001, 8002 connection_max = 5000 enabled = true # ...

Domain-specific Language
A domain-specific language (DSL) is a computer language specialized to a particular application domain. This is in contrast to a general-purpose language (GPL), which is broadly applicable across domains. There are a wide variety of DSLs, ranging from widely used languages for common domains, such as HTML for web pages, down to languages used by only one or a few pieces of software, such as MUSH soft code. DSLs can be further subdivided by the kind of language, and include domain-specific ''markup'' languages, domain-specific ''modeling'' languages (more generally, specification languages), and domain-specific ''programming'' languages. Special-purpose computer languages have always existed in the computer age, but the term "domain-specific language" has become more popular due to the rise of domain-specific modeling. Simpler DSLs, particularly ones used by a single application, are sometimes informally called mini-languages. The line between general-purpose languages and doma ...

Standard Generalized Markup Language
The Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML; ISO 8879:1986) is a standard for defining generalized markup languages for documents. ISO 8879 Annex A.1 states that generalized markup is "based on two postulates": * Declarative: Markup should describe a document's structure and other attributes rather than specify the processing that needs to be performed, because it is less likely to conflict with future developments. * Rigorous: In order to allow markup to take advantage of the techniques available for processing, markup should rigorously define objects like programs and databases. DocBook SGML and LinuxDoc are examples which used SGML tools. Standard versions SGML is an ISO standard: "ISO 8879:1986 Information processing – Text and office systems – Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML)", of which there are three versions: * Original ''SGML'', which was accepted in October 1986, followed by a minor Technical Corrigendum. * ''SGML (ENR)'', in 1996, resu ...

IBM Generalized Markup Language
Generalized Markup Language (GML) is a set of macros that implement intent-based (procedural) markup tags for the IBM text formatter, SCRIPT. SCRIPT/VS is the main component of IBM's Document Composition Facility (DCF). A ''starter set'' of tags in GML is provided with the DCF product. Characteristics GML was developed in 1969 and the early 1970s by Charles Goldfarb, Edward Mosher and Raymond Lorie (whose surname initials were used by Goldfarb to make up the term GML). Using GML, a document is marked up with tags that define what the text is, in terms of paragraphs, headers, lists, tables, and so forth. The document can then be automatically formatted for various devices. For example, it is possible to format a document for a laser printer or a line (dot matrix) printer or for a screen by specifying a profile for the device, without changing the document itself.
