Struct BehaviorLoader 

pub struct BehaviorLoader { /* private fields */ }

Loader for creating behavior trees from JSON configuration.

The BehaviorLoader takes a BehaviorConfig (which can be loaded from JSON) and uses a NodeRegistry to instantiate the complete behavior tree.

Features

• Recursive composition parsing (sequence/selector/parallel nodes)
• Config reference resolution from the config map
• Inline config support
• Clear error messages for missing node types

Example

use mecha10_behavior_runtime::prelude::*;
use mecha10_behavior_runtime::{NodeRegistry, BehaviorLoader};
use serde_json::json;


// Create and populate registry
let mut registry = NodeRegistry::new();
registry.register("my_behavior", |_| Ok(Box::new(MyBehavior)));

// Load behavior tree from JSON
let json = r#"{
    "name": "test_behavior",
    "root": {
        "type": "sequence",
        "children": [
            {
                "type": "node",
                "node": "my_behavior"
            }
        ]
    }
}"#;

let config = BehaviorConfig::from_json(json).unwrap();
let loader = BehaviorLoader::new(registry);
let behavior = loader.load(&config).unwrap();

Implementations

impl BehaviorLoader

pub fn new(registry: NodeRegistry) -> BehaviorLoader

Create a new behavior loader with the given node registry.

Arguments

• registry - The node registry containing registered node types

Example

use mecha10_behavior_runtime::{NodeRegistry, BehaviorLoader};

let registry = NodeRegistry::new();
let loader = BehaviorLoader::new(registry);

pub fn load( &self, config: &BehaviorConfig, ) -> Result<Box<dyn BehaviorNode>, Error>

Load a behavior tree from a configuration.

This is the main entry point for loading behavior trees. It takes a BehaviorConfig (typically loaded from JSON) and recursively instantiates all nodes in the tree.

Arguments

• config - The behavior configuration to load

Returns

A boxed behavior node representing the root of the tree, or an error if:

• A referenced node type is not registered
• A config reference is invalid
• A factory function fails

Example

use mecha10_behavior_runtime::{BehaviorConfig, NodeRegistry, BehaviorLoader};

let loader = BehaviorLoader::new(registry);

let json = r#"{
    "name": "test",
    "root": {
        "type": "node",
        "node": "test"
    }
}"#;

let config = BehaviorConfig::from_json(json).unwrap();
let behavior = loader.load(&config).unwrap();

pub fn load_from_json(&self, json: &str) -> Result<Box<dyn BehaviorNode>, Error>

Load a behavior tree from a JSON string.

This is a convenience method that combines parsing and loading.

Arguments

• json - JSON string containing a BehaviorConfig

Example

use mecha10_behavior_runtime::{NodeRegistry, BehaviorLoader};

let loader = BehaviorLoader::new(registry);

let json = r#"{
    "name": "test",
    "root": {
        "type": "node",
        "node": "test"
    }
}"#;

let behavior = loader.load_from_json(json).unwrap();

pub fn load_from_file( &self, path: impl AsRef<Path>, ) -> Result<Box<dyn BehaviorNode>, Error>

Load a behavior tree from a JSON file.

This is a convenience method that reads a file and loads the behavior tree.

Arguments

• path - Path to the JSON file

Example

use mecha10_behavior_runtime::{NodeRegistry, BehaviorLoader};

let loader = BehaviorLoader::new(registry);
let behavior = loader.load_from_file("behaviors/patrol.json").unwrap();

pub fn registry(&self) -> &NodeRegistry

Get a reference to the underlying node registry.

This can be useful for inspecting registered types or adding new types after the loader has been created.
