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
