'''Tom''' is a [[programming language]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://freecode.com/projects/jtom|title=Freecode}}</ref> particularly well-suited for programming various transformations<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.program-transformation.org/view/Transform/Tom|title=Program-Transformation.Org}}</ref> on [[tree structure]]s and [[XML]] -based documents. Tom is a language extension which adds new matching primitives to [[C (programming language)|C]] and [[Java (programming language)|Java]]<ref>{{citeJava web|url=Community News [http://www.artima.com/forums/flat.jsp?forum=276&thread=217701&start=0&msRange=15|title= Tom: A Pattern-Matching Compiler for Java}}]</ref> as well as support for rewrite rules systems.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.loria.fr/~moreau/Papers/tom-manual-2.6.pdf|title=Tom Manual|date=April 2008|author=Emilie Balland, Paul Brauner, Radu Kopetz, Pierre-Etienne Moreau and Antoine Reilles}}</ref> The rules can be controlled using a strategy<ref>{{cite web|url=http://langexplr.blogspot.ch/2008/03/data-structure-traversal-with-tom.html|title=Data structure traversal with Tom|date=4 April 2008}}</ref> language.

Tom is good for:

* programming by [[pattern matching]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~stelo/pattern.html|title=Pattern Matching Pointers}}</ref>

* developing compilers and [[Domain___domain-specific language|DSL]]s (DSL)

* transforming XML documents

* implementing rule -based systems

* describing algebraic transformations
