STML is a command language for modifying “status tables”. Status tables are similar to relational databases. However, a status table informs the program utilizing it immediately when a value or “state” has changed. Status tables are kept in memory rather than on disk. They are suitable for real-time operations. STML can be used as a simple data manipulation query language, or to command a process with the english-like syntax of a query language. STML supports redefining portions of, or the entire language using XML macro definitions. Status tables can be dumped to and loaded from XML files. The STML project includes STableD, or the Status Table Daemon. STableD uses sockets to facilitate Inter-Process Communication, allowing multiple programs to share and modify a single status table. STML was inspired by a scene in the Anime "Dennou Coil", where a main character used an english-like command language to control robots. STML is released under the ISC License.
