MetaL is shorthand for Meta-programming Language. Meta-programming is a method to develop computer programs. It works by generating source code in a target language from a program specification in a higher level language.

MetaL programs source code is based on XML. MetaL compiler engine can be used to generate the same program from MetaL source code to potentially any target language. Currently supported target languages are PHP, Java and Perl. The support for other languages can be added any time.

What is Metastorage?

Taken from the Metastorage Frequently Asked Questions section:

Metastorage is an application that automatically generates code for an Object Oriented API to store, retrieve and manipulate the persistent objects of classes described in a high level data model definition.

Metastorage provides a much more efficient development process for medium or large size applications that store and retrieve data from SQL based databases or other types of storage persistence containers, like XML files, flat file databases or LDAP servers.

When storing objects in SQL databases, Metastorage generated code performs efficient object-relational mapping. Metastorage antecipates static storage optimization decisions at compile time, so applications gain in performance, code size and memory usage by avoiding evaluating static decisions at run time.
