MPS Interoperability

The goal of this project is to permit interoperability with MPS model from outside MPS.

Use cases

• Fix and refactor MPS models outside MPS
• Process MPS models in CI
• Load MPS models in larger pipelines, for example to generate artifacts out of it
• Edit MPS models in external editors, for example web editors
• Perform analysis on MPS models from outside MPS

Roadmap

• Physical model, testing [DONE]
• Logical model, testing [DOING]
• Loading physical model
• Loading logical model
• Example with visualization of a model

Ideas

• Work with heterogeneous API, based on Manifold
• Generate Kotlin classes

Planned features

Homogeneous API: API to load MPS models using common classes like Node, Property, Relation, etc. to interact with those models

Heterogeneous API: API to work with MPS nodes through classes which are specific for concepts. Those classes could be either generated as source code or as in-memory classes using frameworks like Manifold

Supported platforms

For now we target the JVM but we could in the future convert to a Kotlin multi-platform project, so that it can be run in the browser and in all the platforms supported by Kotlin/native.
