Concerto Overview

Principles

The Concerto Modeling Language (CML) allows you to:

• Define an object-oriented model using a domain-specific language that is much easier to read and write than JSON/XML Schema, XMI or equivalents.
• Optionally edit your models using a powerful VS Code add-on with syntax highlighting and validation
• Create runtime instances of your model
• Serialize your instances to JSON
• Deserialize (and optionally validate) instances from JSON
• Pass JS object instances around your application
• Introspect the model using a powerful set of APIs
• Convert the model to other formats using concerto-tools
• Import models from URLs
• Publish your reusable models to any website, including the Accord Project Open Source model repository
