Tell us more!

What language(s) is it written in?

What other libraries need to be installed?

Is it OS-specific, or browser-specific?

Does it run entirely within a browser, or does it have/need a server
component?

Does it have its own UI, where the user can fiddle options?

Is this just because it eliminates the need to parse a file, or for some
other reason?
