Package org.jplate.foundation.parser Description

Contains all JPlate parser related functionality. This project defines the following concepts:

• A parser: parses streams, files, strings, etc. Utilizes a builder to create items when "choice" points are encountered during parsing.
• A builder: creates items on behalf of a parser.
• Factories: for creating instances of parsers and/or builders.

Delegating parsing and building as described above keeps parsers fairly static by varying builder implementations based upon problem domain.

For example, consider the case where one uses tabbed delimited files for insertion into a database but decides to temporarily display the fields as found in the file (perhaps due to some errors in the data). The tabbed delimited parser can remain the same - it simply parses tabbed delimited streams. Two builder implementations can be written: one for database import, another for outputting the values found to the console.
