Hello everyone,

I've implemented a serialization mechanism for serializing my .dsl-files as XMI.
Now I wanted to know wheter it is right so say, that these kind of representation is
the current AST of my parsed textual grammar? The Xtext-Documentation says in chap. 12.1 : Xtext uses EMF models as the in-memory representation of any parsed text ﬁles. This in-memory object graph is called the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST)

So it should be the same. As an example I took a screenshot of my serialized .dsl file (instance of my metamodel) and created a AST by hand (the old-school way Smile

Smile

).
Maybe someone may tell me if these both representations are equal or not.

Best regards,

Alex

They are similar but not equal.

Ok thanks!
I've chosen an other representation of the AST. I have just created an object-diagram wich represents my expression.
