In addition to the hand-written classes * in this package, further parser classes are generated from the ANTLR grammars * which define the language syntax and the steps in Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) * construction. *

* The Jiffle compiler works by first creating an AST from the input Jiffle * script. Next, a number of tree parsers check the AST for semantic errors. * This is followed by tree rewriting, in which the AST is re-structured to * make it more suitable for the final step: runtime class source code generation. * The resulting source code can be retrieved by the client and/or compiled into * executable bytecode by Jiffle's embedded Janino compiler. */ package org.jaitools.jiffle.parser;
