# JavaScript DSL

DNSControl uses JavaScript as its primary input language to provide power and flexibility to configure your domains. The ultimate purpose of the JavaScript is to construct a
[DNSConfig](https://godoc.org/github.com/StackExchange/dnscontrol/models#DNSConfig) object that will be passed to the go backend and operated on.
