Description

Interface Summary

Lexer	The Lexer interface describes the set of calls that need to be implemented by a Lexer for any given language.
LexerToken	The LexerToken interface encapsulates a single token retrieved by a call to Lexer.lex().
SyntaxListener
SyntaxToken	The SyntaxToken interface encapsulates a single syntax token retrieved by a call to SyntaxTranslator.translate().

Class Summary

AbstractLexer	The AbstractLexer is a basic abstract implementation which takes care of common functionality across all Lexers, such as the buffer and offset issues, and for providing a basic LexerToken object which just stores token and offset information.
AbstractLexer.DefaultLexerToken	The DefaultLexerToken just implements a basic LexerToken which stores a token and start/end offsets.
AbstractSyntaxRecognizer	The AbstractSyntaxRecognizer is a basic abstract implementation which takes care of common functionality across SyntaxRecognizers for LL(1) parsers.

Package oracle.javatools.parser Description

The Parser package is a basic framework of interfaces for building a lexer or parser for various document types. It includes lexer implementations for HTML, Java, and Java properties files, and a parser implementation for Java files. It also includes a basic generic lexer implementation to quickly prototype a lexer for additional languages.

The lexer framework is defined primarily to allow rapid implementation of syntax highlighting support for new languages by implementing a Lexer for the new language and implementing the appropriate editor language interfaces necessary for a new syntax highlighting module.
