Tom is a programming language[1] particularly well-suited for programming various transformations[2] 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 DSL
  • transforming XML documents
  • implementing rule based systems
  • describing algebraic transformations
