kandi X-RAY | javacc Summary
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

QUESTION
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.

QUESTION
I am building a gradle project which has a javacc parser file (i.e a file with .jj extension) Therefore, to execute this .jj file we need to run 3 commands in the terminal as javacc filename.jj javac *.java java parsername
However, I want to know how to edit the build.gradle, so that whenever the user enters ./gradlew build all the above mentioned commands would be automatically executed.

QUESTION
I am recently learning javacc releated concepts and writing tokens and parser. 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
Here I am passing an input file when running the parser file
Here I want to know how to call this parser file from the another separate java class, so that we can verify the user input matches with the expected format.
The parser file is given here:

QUESTION
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
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Apr-07 at 12:15Move 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:

Install javacc
You can use javacc like any standard Java library. Please include the the jar files in your classpath. You can also use any IDE and you can run and debug the javacc component as you would do with any other Java program. Best practice is to use a build tool that supports dependency management such as Maven or Gradle. For Maven installation, please refer maven.apache.org. For Gradle installation, please refer gradle.org .
