The Vorto language is developed based on other, well known programming languages like Java, but with the focus to express device functionality in a clean and slick way. It is both intuitive to understood by people and processable by machines. By leveraging this DSL you can describe the capabilities and functionality of a device as an Information Model. Information Models are assembled from re-usable, abstract and technology-agnostic Function Blocks. IoT Solutions process the Function Block specific data, to be able to stay agnostic of the actual device(s).
