What is a QDL file?
A QDL file contains source code written in the QDL programming language (pronounced “quiddle”), a general‑purpose scripting and functional language designed to work with aggregate data structures and program logic. QDL scripts use standard constructs such as loops, conditionals, and functions to define operations on data and automate tasks. QDL files are plain text and store code that a QDL interpreter can read and execute.
More Information
The QDL language and QDL files are used with a QDL runtime or interpreter, typically installed on systems that support Java and scripting workflows. Developers use QDL for tasks such as scripting, rapid prototyping, data processing, or interactive exploration of algorithms. In some environments, like server‑side applications (for example, as part of the OA4MP authentication system), QDL scripts automate configuration and processing steps within a larger software system.
How to open a QDL file
You can open QDL files with any text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad, Apple TextEdit, or a code editor like Microsoft Visual Studio Code. To run or interpret a .qdl file, install the QDL distribution and use the provided command‑line tools (for example, qdl-run) to execute the script in a workspace. Some setups also provide interactive workspaces where you can load and run QDL code directly.
