ยง๐ ๏ธ Go Parser Developer Guide
This guide is designed to help you quickly get started with developing and integrating oak-go.
ยง๐ฆ Quick Start
ยงBasic Parsing Example
The following is a standard workflow for parsing a Go file:
use oak_go::{GoParser, SourceText, GoLanguage};
fn main() {
// 1. Prepare source code
let code = r#"
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Println("Hello from Oak Go!")
}
"#;
let source = SourceText::new(code);
// 2. Initialize parser
let config = GoLanguage::new();
let parser = GoParser::new(&config);
// 3. Execute parsing
let result = parser.parse(&source);
// 4. Handle results
if result.is_success() {
println!("Parsing successful! AST node count: {}", result.node_count());
} else {
eprintln!("Errors found during parsing.");
}
}ยง๐ Core API Usage
ยง1. Syntax Tree Traversal
After a successful parse, you can use the built-in visitor pattern or manually traverse the Green/Red Tree to extract Go constructs like package declarations, struct methods, or channel operations.
ยง2. Incremental Parsing
No need to re-parse the entire file when small changes occur:
// Assuming you have an old parse result 'old_result' and new source text 'new_source'
let new_result = parser.reparse(&new_source, &old_result);ยง3. Diagnostics
oak-go provides rich error contexts specifically tailored for Go developers:
for diag in result.diagnostics() {
println!("[{}:{}] {}", diag.line, diag.column, diag.message);
}ยง๐๏ธ Architecture Overview
- Lexer: Tokenizes Go source text into a stream of tokens, handling keywords, operators, and literals with support for Goโs unique syntax rules.
- Parser: Syntax analyzer based on the Pratt parsing algorithm to handle Goโs expression precedence and structural declarations.
- AST: A strongly-typed syntax abstraction layer designed for building high-performance Go analysis tools and IDEs.
