Tom is a programming language[2] particularly well-suited for programming various transformations[3] on tree structures and XML based documents. Tom is a language extension which adds new matching primitives to C and Java[4] as well as support for rewrite rules systems.[5] The rules can be controlled using a strategy[6] language.
