About this paper

Dominik Bork, Philip Langer, Tobias Ortmayr

Presents a vision for flexible web-based modeling tools built on the Graphical Language Server Platform (GLSP), detailing how its client-server architecture and extensibility enable adaptable, platform-independent tool development and deployment. The approach aims to bridge the gap between academic prototypes and industrial-grade applications, providing a shared foundation for the modeling community.

Key insights

  • Flexibility is crucial for modern modeling tools due to diverse user preferences, evolving markets, and varied deployment scenarios.
  • The Graphical Language Server Platform (GLSP) achieves flexibility through inversion of control, allowing extensive customization of diagram elements, behaviors, and validation rules.
  • GLSP's hierarchical dependency inversion pattern enables seamless integration of the same modeling tool into various platforms like Eclipse Theia, VS Code, and custom web applications.
