Computer language

Short description: Formal language used to design, develop and make use of computer systems

A computer language is a formal language used to communicate with a computer. Types of computer languages include:

* Construction language - all forms of communication by which a human can specify an executable problem solution to a computer
* Command language - a language used to control the tasks of the computer itself, such as starting programs
* Configuration language - a language used to write configuration files
* Programming language - a formal language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer
* Query language - a language used to make queries in databases and information systems
* Transformation language - designed to transform some input text in a certain formal language into a modified output text that meets some specific goal
* Data exchange language - a language that is domain-independent and can be used for data from any kind of discipline; examples: JSON, XML
* Markup language - a grammar for annotating a document in a way that is syntactically distinguishable from the text, such as HTML
* Modeling language - an artificial language used to express information or knowledge, often for use in computer system design
* Architecture description language - used as a language (or a conceptual model) to describe and represent system architectures
* Hardware description language - used to model integrated circuits
* Page description language - describes the appearance of a printed page in a higher level than an actual output bitmap
* Simulation language - a language used to describe simulations
* Specification language - a language used to describe what a system should do
* Style sheet language - a computer language that expresses the presentation of structured documents, such as CSS
