Parser
package is a basic framework of interfaces for building a lexer or parser for various document types.See: Description
Interface | Description |
---|---|
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 | Description |
---|---|
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. |
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.
