Xenon is a language and system for efficient generation of configurations for design space sweeps. It is implemented as an embedded Python DSL. At a high level, Xenon works by executing commands that set Python object attributes on objects in a user-defined data model and then expanding these attributes into a set of configurations. The expansion process is implemented by a class representing a design sweep. At the end, all configurations are exported in JSON format. The user is then responsible to write the backend to transform the JSON output into a form usable by his/her tool.

Xenon requires the pyparsing module. Any version between 2.2.0 and 2.3.0
(inclusive) is supported.
