About:
The AMPL Solver Library (ASL) provides a standardized C-language interface for connecting optimization solvers to modeling languages like AMPL. It handles the complex parsing and evaluation of algebraic expressions, allowing solver developers to focus on core algorithms. This library is essential for integrating custom or existing solvers with the AMPL environment.

Key Features:

C-language API for solver integration
Efficient expression tree evaluation
Supports both linear and nonlinear problems
Standardized interface for AMPL compatibility

Use Cases:

Developing a new optimization solver compatible with AMPL
Integrating an existing proprietary solver with the AMPL modeling language
Research in mathematical optimization requiring solver customization

Alternatives:

COIN-OR Open Solver Interface (OSI) – OSI is part of the COIN-OR suite and primarily focuses on linear programming (LP) and mixed-integer programming (MIP), whereas ASL is specifically designed for interfacing with AMPL and handles general nonlinear problems.
