What is Acceleo?

Acceleo is a template-based technology including authoring tools to create custom code generators. It allows you to automatically produce any kind of source code from any data source available in EMF format.

It offers outstanding advantages:

  • high ability to customize
  • interoperability
  • easy kick off

A pragmatic implementation of the Object Management Group (OMG) MOF Model to Text Language (MTL) standard, Acceleo is the result of several man-years of R&D started in the Obeo company.
