HiLang has been designed for an interactive development experience with Visual Studio and Rosyln Source Generators. Any syntax errors are highlighted in code with one-click navigation from Visual Studio error window. The nuget package can be used with any IDE that supports dotnet development including JetBrains Rider and Visual Studio Code.

Once a model has been developed using C#, generation for other target languages is straightforward.

Modelling tool integration

The Sparx HiLang MDG supports model development using Sparx Enterprise Architect UML modelling environment.

hilangc --export supports export from .hilang to .xmi for XMI data interchange for Sparx and other UML modelling tools. hilangc --import supports import of an XMI .xmi file to .hilang from Sparx and other UML modelling tools

hilangc --mermaid generates a mermaid class diagram for use markdown documentation
