DSL

A Domain-Specific Language (DSL) is a programming language or specification language dedicated to a particular problem domain, a particular problem representation technique, or a particular solution technique. DSLs allow domain experts to express solutions in terms of the problem domain rather than the implementation domain.

DSL is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Domain-Specific Language, DSL, Programming Languages, and Software Engineering.
