DSLs For Java - 0

The document discusses using Xtext to create domain-specific languages (DSLs) for Java. It provides an example of defining a DSL for describing customer entities and shows how Xtext can generate corresponding Java code. The document also covers how Xtext supports integrating DSLs with Java through techniques like model inference and grammar inheritance.
