MontiCore 5 Language Workbench

This reference manual for the language workbench MontiCore describes how to efficiently develop tools that deal with language processing.

MontiCore allows to specify tooling for processing models of standard languages, such as UML or Java, as well as domain specific textual languages (DSLs). MontiCore provides infrastructure for processing many as well as heterogeneous models of different languages. MontiCore assists modeling in the large.

With MontiCore these tools can to a large extent be generated. Furthermore, the generated part can flexibly be adapted by handcoded extensions. MontiCore assists reuse of tool components that have been developed independently by providing techniques for systematic reuse of language components by composing, extending or inheriting them. MontiCore assists an easy development and extension of languages.
