==== Description: ====
Cola is an acronym for Configuration Language. The language is identical to
TypoScript used for the configuration of the TYPO3 CMS. It can be compared to
YAML or Jason but has it's own nature.

http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/core-documentation/doc_core_ts/4.1.0/view/

While TYPO3 (GPL) renders the configuration with a PHP script, the initial
tool of the Cola project is a compiler (LGPL) build with Flex and Bison.
Currently it is hosted here and has the name TSC:

http://typo3xdev.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/typo3xdev/tx_tsc/trunk/src/

The configuration language is renderd into a PHP array including syntax
checking. Cola is planned as an independent project to unlock the features of
TypoScript for other PHP configurations and probably for other languages
later.

At the same time the compiler is targeted to serve as an optional faster
replacement for the TYPO3 PHP engine, that still lacks syntax checking. 









==== Other Software Required: ====
Bison, Flex
