Chapter 2. Creating Your First Xtext Language

In this chapter we will develop a DSL with Xtext and learn how the Xtext grammar language works. We will see the typical development workflow of programming with Xtext when we modify the grammar of the DSL. The chapter will also provide a small introduction to EMF (Eclipse Modeling Framework), a framework that Xtext relies upon to build the AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) of a program.
