+### Community-Driven Language for Variability Models
+
+The **U**niversal **V**ariability **L**anguage is a community effort towards a unified language for variability models. UVL is a direct result of the efforts within the <a href="https://modevar.github.io/">MODEVAR</a> initiative.

+# Software
+
+### Tool Support for UVL
+* Java-based parser for UVL: <a href="https://github.com/Universal-Variability-Language/uvl-parser2.0">UVL-Parser2.0</a>
+* Python-based parser for UVL: [UVL Parser](https://github.com/flamapy/uvlparser) 
+* Rust-based Language Server Protocol for integrating UVL in your favorite IDE:  <a href="https://github.com/Universal-Variability-Language/uvl-lsp">UVLS</a> 
+* Visual Studio Code <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=caradhras.uvls-code">extension </a> based on **UVLs**
+
+### Tools Integrating UVL
+
+* IDE for feature-oriented software development: <a href="https://github.com/FeatureIDE/FeatureIDE">FeatureIDE</a>
+* Python-based analysis frame for variability models: [Flama](https://github.com/flamapy/)
+* Transformations between different variability modelling approaches: [TraVarT](https://github.com/SECPS/TraVarT)
