Class SimpleParser

java.lang.Object
software.amazon.smithy.utils.SimpleParser
public class SimpleParser extends Object
A simple expression parser that can be extended to implement parsers for small domain-specific languages.

This parser internally consumes characters of a CharSequence while tracking the current 0-based position, 1-based line, and 1-based column. Expectations can be made on the parser to require specific characters, and when those expectations are not met, a syntax exception is thrown.

      Returns:
      Returns the peeked character.

      Skip 0 or more spaces (that is, ' ' and '\t').

    • br

      public void br()
      Skips spaces then expects that the next character is either the end of the expression or a line break (\n, \r\n, or \r).
      Throws:
      RuntimeException - if the next non-space character is not EOF or a line break.

    • skip

      public void skip()
      Skips a single character while tracking lines and columns.

      This method will also terminate when the end of the expression is encountered.

      This method is useful, for example, for skipping the text of a commented out line in an expression. If the contents of the skipped line are required, then store the current position before invoking this method using position(), then call this method, then get the contents of the skipped characters using sliceFrom(int).

    • sliceFrom

      public final String sliceFrom(int start)
      Copies a slice of the expression into a string, starting from the given 0-based character position, read all the way through to the current position of the parser.
      Parameters:
      start - Position to slice from, ending at the current position.
      Returns:
      Returns the copied slice of the expression from start to position.

    • borrowSliceFrom

      public final CharSequence borrowSliceFrom(int start)
      Gets a zero-copy slice of the expression starting from the given 0-based character position, read all the way through to the current position of the parser.
      Parameters:
      start - Position to slice from, ending at the current position.
      Returns:
      Returns the zero-copy slice of the expression from start to position.

    • borrowSliceFrom

      public final CharSequence borrowSliceFrom(int start, int removeRight)
      Gets a zero-copy slice of the expression starting from the given 0-based character position, read all the way through to the current position of the parser minus removeRight.
      Parameters:
      start - Position to slice from, ending at the current position.
      removeRight - Number of characters to omit before the current position.
      Returns:
      Returns the zero-copy slice of the expression from start to position.

    • consumeUntilNoLongerMatches

      @Deprecated public final int consumeUntilNoLongerMatches(Predicate<Character> predicate)
      Deprecated.

    • consumeWhile

      public final int consumeWhile(IntPredicate predicate)
      Reads a lexeme from the expression while the given predicate matches each peeked character.
      Parameters:
      predicate - Predicate that filters characters.
      Returns:
      Returns the consumed lexeme (or an empty string on no matches).

    • increaseNestingLevel

      public final void increaseNestingLevel()
      Increases the current nesting level of the parser.

      This method can be manually invoked when parsing in order to prevent parsing too deeply using recursive descent parsers.

      Throws:
      RuntimeException - if the nesting level is deeper than the max allowed nesting.

    • decreaseNestingLevel

      public final void decreaseNestingLevel()
      Decreases the current nesting level of the parser.

    • nestingLevel

      public int nestingLevel()

      Returns:
      Returns the current nesting level.
