Class TypeParser

java.lang.Object

com.bc.ceres.binio.util.TypeParser

public class TypeParser
extends Object

A simple parser which can be used to read type definition units using the following syntax:

unit := compounds

compounds := { compound }

compound := compound-name { members } [;]

members := { member }

member := type member-name ;

type := scalar-type | array-type

array-type := element-type [element-count] { [element-count] }

element-type := scalar-type

element-count := integer | member-reference

scalar-type := simple-type | compound-name

simple-type := byte | ubyte | short | ushort | int | uint | long | float | double

member-reference := $member-name (member must be an integer type)

compound-name := name

member-name := name

name := java-identifier | any character sequence within two enclosing " (double quote)

For example:

 Dataset {
     int lineCount;
     Scanline[$lineCount] scanlines;
 };
 Scanline {
     int flags;
     double[512] data;
 };
