# GLS - General Language Syntax

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/general-language-syntax/GLS.svg?)](https://travis-ci.org/general-language-syntax/GLS)
[![NPM version](https://badge.fury.io/js/general-language-syntax.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/js/general-language-syntax)
[![Greenkeeper badge](https://badges.greenkeeper.io/general-language-syntax/GLS.svg)](https://greenkeeper.io/)

A unified syntax that compiles into a number of OOP languages.

* Read the docs at **[glslang.org](https://glslang.org)**.
* Try it at **[aka.ms/gls-demo](https://aka.ms/gls-demo)**.

> **GLS is still under development. Don't expect everything to work!**

## Usage

GLS can be used as a command-line app or via `import`/`require`.

### CLI

To convert `file.gls` to `file.py`:

```shell
npm install general-language-syntax gls-cli --global

gls --language Python file.gls
```

See [gls-cli](https://github.com/HighSchoolHacking/gls-cli).

### Code

`npm install general-language-syntax`

```javascript
import { Gls } from "general-language-syntax";

const gls = new Gls("C#");

// System.Console.WriteLine("Hello world!");
gls.convert([`print : ("Hello world!")`]);
```

## Status

GLS is just shy of **0.4**.
