Origami Definition Language

The Origami Definition Language (OrigamiDL for short) is a domain-specific language used to describe folding instructions used in the context of Origami. It allows to declaratively define Origami models, which can then be automatically converted into crease patterns, folding diagrams or interactive instructions.
