Lisp Query Notation—A DSL for Data Processing

This paper introduces Lisp Query Notation (LQN). A Common Lisp
library, DSL and command-line utility for manipulating text files,
and structured data such as JSON and csv, and Lisp Source code.
First we introduce the motivation and design principles. Then
we present the LQN syntax, and demonstrate how to use LQN as a
library to manipulate data structures in CL. Moreover we demon-
strate how to use LQN from the command-line. Finally we describe
a few possibilities for improvements and further work.
