This project contains a set of libraries implementing a Java 1.0 - Java 17 Parser with advanced analysis functionalities. The project binaries are available in Maven Central. We strongly advise users to adopt Maven, Gradle or another build system for their projects. If you are not familiar with them we suggest taking a look at the maven quickstart projects. Since Version 3.5.10, the JavaParser project includes the JavaSymbolSolver. While JavaParser generates an Abstract Syntax Tree, JavaSymbolSolver analyzes that AST and is able to find the relation between an element and its declaration (e.g. for a variable name it could be a parameter of a method, providing information about its type, position in the AST, etc). When choosing open source technologies it is important to know your choice will be rewarded by continuous support. The JavaParser community is vibrant and active, with a weekly release cadence that supports language features up to Java 12.
Features
- The most popular parser for the Java language
- Write code that can traverse Java source and look for the patterns you are interested in
- Build tools that can not just identify code patterns, but also has the ability to change them
- Be smart, don't spend time writing boiler plate, generate it
- Our goal is to build a simple and lightweight set of tools to analyze, transform and generate Java code
- Available either under either the terms of the LGPL or Apache Licenses
