Abstract
The use of Model-Driven Engineering in software development is increasingly growing in industrial applications as the technologies are becoming more mature. In particular, domain-specific languages bring to end-users simplicity of use and productivity by means of various artifacts generators. However, end-users still need to cope with heavy modeling infrastructures and complex deployment procedures, before being able to work on models. In this paper, we propose a centralized lightweight approach for performing textual modeling through web browsers. DSLFORGE is a generator of online text editors. Given a language grammar, the tool allows to generate lightweight web editors, supporting syntax highlighting, syntax validation, scoping, and code completion. DSLFORGE allows also automatic integration of existing code generators into the generated web editor providing a complete online modeling user experience.
