JIL: an Extensible Intermediate Language
David Eng · 2002
The Java Intermediate Language (JIL) is a subset of XML and SGML described in this document. Its goal is to provide an intermediate representation of Java source code suitable for machine use. JIL benefits from the features of XML, such as extensibility and portability, while providing a common ground for software tools. The following document discusses the design issues and overall framework for such a language, including a description of all fundamental elements.
