kandi X-RAY | javacc Summary

javacc is a Java library typically used in Utilities, Parser applications. javacc has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available, it has a Permissive License and it has high support. You can download it from GitHub, Maven.

java compiler compiler (javacc) is the most popular parser generator for use with java applications. a parser generator is a tool that reads a grammar specification and converts it to a java program that can recognize matches to the grammar. in addition to the parser generator itself, javacc provides other standard capabilities related to parser generation such as tree building (via a tool called jjtree included with javacc), actions and debugging. all you need to run a javacc parser, once generated, is a java runtime environment (jre). this readme is meant as a brief overview of the core features and how to set things up to get yourself started with javacc. for a fully detailed documentation, please see javacc generates top-down (recursive descent) parsers as opposed to bottom-up parsers generated by yacc-like tools. this allows the use of more general grammars, although left-recursion is disallowed. top-down parsers have a number of other advantages (besides more general grammars) such as being easier to debug, having the ability to parse to any non-terminal in the grammar, and also having the ability to pass values (attributes) both up and down the parse tree during parsing. by default, javacc generates an ll(1) parser. however, there may be portions of grammar that are not

            JavaCC reference program is looping
            Asked 2022-Apr-09 at 14:24

            I am studying JavaCC and thus started working through an example from a Brazilian university.

            Coding the file and compiling it using the JavaCC gradle plugin worked fine. However, when invoking the generated class with input, the program seems idle as if it's waiting for input.

I was able to write a parser and it works perfectly when I run in the terminal using the commands javacc BusParser.jj //BusParser is file name javac *.java java Calculator //Calculator is parser name //and then type input

            My grammar identifiers keywords as identifiers
            Asked 2021-Apr-07 at 12:15

            I'm trying to parse expressions from the Jakarta Expression Language. In summary, it is a simplified Java expressions, with addition of a few things:

            • Support for creating maps like: {"foo": "bar"}
            • Support for creating lists and sets like: [1,2,3,4] {1,2,3,4}
            • Use some identifiers instead of symbols, like: foo gt bar (foo > bar), foo mod bar(foo % bar), and so on.

            I'm struggling in the last bit, where it always understands the "mod", "gt", "ge" as identifiers instead of using the expression that has the "%", ">", ">=".

            I'm new to ANTLR. My grammar is based on the Java grammar in the https://github.com/antlr/grammars-v4/tree/master/java/java and the JavaCC provided by: https://jakarta.ee/specifications/expression-language/4.0/jakarta-expression-language-spec-4.0.html#collected-syntax

            Move the Lexer rules for them to be prior to the Lexer rule for Identifier.

            If ANTLR has more than one Lexer rule that matches input of the same length it chooses the first rule in the grammar that matches.

            For example “mod” is matched by Identifier and MOD1, but Identifier is 1st, so it chooses Identifier. Move the MOD1 rule to be before Identifier and it’ll match MOD1

            ———-

            BTW, unless you care about having different token values for “%” and “mod”, you can just define a single rule:
