Unique Strengths of ASL

A Parser Makes it easy to parse files of any format

As powerful as regular expressions but easier to

read! Can connect two InCharge processes Many built in connections are implemented in ASL

Embedded in all of the InCharge binaries Runs inside of an InCharge server

Always available in any InCharge environment
