Symbol Tables... they're a thing #2
Description
The project is again being redesigned to follow a stricter lexer-parser structure. A grammar will be better outlined to follow common EBNF grammar notation.
-
A lexer will gather symbols from the file, rejecting any invalid symbols.
-
A parser will parse the list of symbols, and given an expression grammar, determine validity.
-
During validation checks, the parser constructs any objects necessary for a python dictionary or array.
- If a validation check fails (incorrect grammar), the parser will reject the input file.
-
An attempt at linting will be made to determine potentially invalid constructs post-parse, but JSON is an object notation language, not a programming language.
