Abstract: This paper presents \smgn, a grammar-based tool that provides support for scanning, parsing, and automatic parse tree construction. The parse tree can be easily navigated and manipulated with a specific macro language while conveniently generating textual output. \smgn{} is easy to learn---even for non-compiler experts---and well suited for rapid prototyping of small domain-specific languages. It is part of the \SUIF{} compiler system, where it has been used for the development of the \Hoof{} domain-specific language. Furthermore, \smgn{} was employed successfully for the rapid prototyping of another domain-specific language, called Bauhaus IMDL. We introduce \smgn{}, describe experiences in using it for DSL construction and evaluate its usefulness based on these experiences.
