Introduction

The OVAL Language Sandbox provides a collaborative environment for the community to propose and develop experimental capabilities in the OVAL Language. The OVAL Language Sandbox will allow the community to fully investigate and implement new capabilities before including them in an official release ensuring that only mature and implementable constructs are added to the OVAL Language.

How the Sandbox Works

The process that describes how the OVAL Language Sandbox works and how new experimental capabilities can be developed and migrated into an official OVAL Language release can be found on the OVAL website at http://oval.mitre.org/language/sandbox.html.

Sandbox Approach and Conventions

The Sandbox Approach and Conventions page will provide more information on how the OVAL Language Sandbox is implemented as well as conventions for creating new experimental capabilities in the OVAL Language Sandbox.
