pgf-server can now act as a standalone HTTP server. To activate this mode, start it with pfg-server http to use the default port number (41296), or give an explicit port number, e.g., pgf-server http 8080 The HTTP server serves PGF files in the same way as the old FastCGI interface. In addition, it also serves static files. The document root for static files is the www subdirectory of the current directory where pgf-server is started. In spite of these addition, backwards compatibility is maintaned. The old FastCGI interface continues to work as before. (It is activated when pgf-server is started without arguments.)
DESCRIPTION
The Grammatical Framework (=GF) is a grammar formalism based on type theory.
It consists of
* a special-purpose programming language
* a compiler of the language
* a generic grammar processor
The compiler reads GF grammars from user-provided files, and the
generic grammar processor performs various tasks with the grammars:
* generation
* parsing
* translation
* type checking
* computation
* paraphrasing
* random generation
* syntax editing
GF particularly addresses four aspects of grammars:
* multilinguality (parallel grammars for different languages)
* semantics (semantic conditions of well-formedness, semantic
properties of expressions)
* grammar engineering (modularity, abstractions, libraries)
* embeddability in programs written in other languages (C,C++,
Haskell, Java, JavaScript)
