Syntax aimed at processing as opposed to reading and writing

Illustration

The Java assignment "x = 42" would be rendered in some possible XML-based abstract syntax like this: 

<assign>
  <lhs>
    <id>x</id>
  </lhs>
  <rhs>
    <constant>42</constant>
  </rhs>
</assign>

For a bit more involved example, consider first this Java statement sequence in concrete syntax: 

x = 42;
System.out.println(x);

In XML-based abstract syntax: 

<sequence>
  <assign>
    <lhs>
      <id>x</id>
    </lhs>
    <rhs>
      <constant>42</constant>
    </rhs>
  </assign>
  <methodcall>
    <receiver>
      <static>
        <id>System</id>
        <id>out</id>
      </static>
    </receiver>
    <methodname>
      <id>println</id>
    </methodname>
    <arguments>
      <id>x</id>
    </arguments>
  </methodcall>
</sequence>
