Class SyntaxParser

java.lang.Object
  net.sf.japaki.self.SyntaxParser

public class SyntaxParser
extends Object

Provides a parser for syntax definitions. The parser accepts the following patterns:

pattern	description	parser	bean
abc	A constant in the in- or output stream.	LeafParser	ConstantParserBean
<property>	Selects the parser based on the property type.	LeafParser	LeafParserBean
<property,,"pattern">	Selects the parser based on the property type and uses the pattern.	LeafParser	LeafParserBean
<property,parserName>	Uses the parser stored under parserName to parse the property.	LeafParser	LeafParserBean
<property,parserName,"pattern">	Uses the parser stored under parserName to parse the property and uses the pattern.	LeafParser	LeafParserBean
<property,,subParser,delimiter>	Parses a collection with the specified subparser.	CollectionParser	LeafParserBean
<property,,subParser,delimiter>	Parses a map with the specified subparser.	MapParser	LeafParserBean
\n	A line break.	LineFeed	FixedParserBean
parser1parser2parser3	The parsers are used one after another.	BeanParser	BeanParserBean
[parser]	The parsers is only used if possible (if no exception is thrown).	OptionalParser	OptionalParserBean
(parser1|parser2|parser3)	Exactly one of the parsers is used.	ChoiceParser	ChoiceParserBean

Method Detail

getParserStore

protected final ParserStore getParserStore()

Returns the underlying parser store.

Returns:

the underlying parser store

add

protected <B,T extends B> void add(String name,
                                   Parser<B> parser,
                                   Class<T> type)

Adds a parser to the parser store

Parameters:

name - see ParserStore

parser - see ParserStore

type - see ParserStore

fillStore

protected void fillStore()

Adds the parser definitions of the syntax parser to the store.

addParsersToEntry

protected void addParsersToEntry(ArrayList<Parser<? super SinglePropertyBean<ParserBean>>> parsers)

Adds the parsers to the main choice parser. this is the anchor for changes in subclasses.

Parameters:

parsers - parsers that are options for an entry

Returns the main parser

Returns:

the main parser
