# Decodal
Decodal is a small deterministic DSL for describing, composing, validating, and materializing structured data.
It is designed around a lightweight Rust library:
- host-supplied imports through `SourceLoader`
- no filesystem access in the library core
- concrete and abstract values with constraints and defaults
- deterministic expression evaluation
- optional regex support behind a Cargo feature
- browser playground support through WebAssembly
## Library crate
Embedded hosts should depend on `decodal` and provide imports with a `SourceLoader`.
```toml
[dependencies]
decodal = "0.1"
```
## CLI
A standalone CLI is kept in this repository as the `decodal-cli` workspace package.
It builds a `decodal` binary, but it is not the primary crates.io package.
Run a Decodal file from the repository:
```sh
cargo run -q -p decodal-cli -- examples/advanced/main.dcdl
```
Enable optional regex support when needed:
```sh
cargo run -q -p decodal-cli --features regex -- examples/regex/main.dcdl
```
## Web playground
The static documentation site and browser playground live under:
```text
site/decodal-site/
```
