Parsing

Our code style mining project is written in Java and Python and mines projects in both languages. This section is sorted by target languages.

• Parsing Any Language in Java in 5 Minutes: Federico Tomassetti's walkthrough, using Python 3 as an example
• Java
  1. Parsing in Java: Gabriele Tomassetti's collection of tools and libraries
  2. JavaParser
     • Note from Bruno da Silva:

       Not useful for tracking whitespaces and brace positions. But parse libraries might be useful for capturing other style aspects such as naming conventions.

  3. Roaster: A Java Parser library that allows easy parsing and formatting of Java source files
     • Note from Bruno da Silva:

       Very similar to JavaParser but with a slightly different API.

• Python
  1. Parsing in Python: Gabriele Tomassetti's collection of tools and libraries

Git APIs & Libraries

1. GitHub Java API (org.eclipse.egit.github.core): Listed as a third-party library on the GitHub Developer API v3 site.
2. GitHub API for Java (org.kohsuke.github): Listed as a third-party library on the GitHub Developer API v3 site.
