HCDL (MIME type: text/hcdl), also known as the Hypercontent Distribution Language, is the standard binary language used in Web communications to end users. It is normally assembled on the server side using textual HCDL, CSS, and WebAssembly.

Example

HCDL

    parag>attr>.red:.extra-class;HLLO
EXTRA TEXT;
    list>attr>unordered:.red;
        list-entry>whatever bold>text;;
    <

.red {
    color: red;
}

.extra-class {
    text-align: center;
}

fun onLoad() {
     Hcdl.selectElement(".extra-class").outer = parag {
         +"hello"
     }
}
