Introducing ZiraDocs: the compiler and governance layer for your business documents

We’re consolidating slidelang (presentations) and doclang (documents) — two open, Apache-2.0 DSLs that share one core parser and one versioned AST — under a single home: ZiraDocs.

Why one home for two languages

slidelang and doclang were built together from the start: same parser architecture, same AST, same renderer pipeline, same design goal — plain text that’s easy for a human or an agent to write, and a stable intermediate representation underneath it that any tool can consume. Splitting their public presence made that harder to see than it should be. ZiraDocs fixes that: one steward, one place to find both.

What’s open, what’s not

Both languages, their CLIs, the shared core, the AST spec and schema, an MCP server for agent tooling, and a browser playground are open source under Apache-2.0 — free forever, no catch. On top of that, ZiraDocs builds and sells: signed binaries, premium themes and corporate-fidelity export, support and consulting, and a governance layer — policy, provenance, and audit for teams whose CI needs to know what’s allowed to ship, not just what compiles.

See the pricing page for the full breakdown.

The playground runs the real parse → lint → render pipeline in your browser, no install. Or read the getting started guide for either language.

Where things stand

This site, and the public repos it describes, are actively migrating from where they’ve lived during development. Some pages here describe what’s coming as much as what’s live today — we’d rather be upfront about that than overstate where things are.
