Short description: None

Tom is a programming language^[2] particularly well-suited for programming various transformations on tree structures and XML-based documents. Tom is a language extension which adds new matching primitives to C and Java^[3] as well as support for rewrite rules systems.^[4] The rules can be controlled using a strategy^[5] language.

Tom is good for:

programming by pattern matching^[6]
developing compilers and domain-specific languages (DSL)
transforming XML documents
implementing rule-based systems
describing algebraic transformations
