Calling C MARPA from Java

[phi...@free.fr]

Hello,

First of all, can the C version of MARPA be used on its own (without PERL)?

Second, has anyone managed to run it using Java JNI?

Many thanks.

Yes, here is a json parser in the libmarpa repo.

Nope, AFAIK, but that must be doable relatively easily, as e.g. with lua, python and csharp in https://github.com/rns/libmarpa-bindings

 

Many thanks.

Yes -- https://jeffreykegler.github.io/Marpa-web-site/libmarpa.html -- the parse engine is separately documented and in C90 C C language.  The interface is complete, but *very* low-level.  For example, no symbol names -- symbols, rules and everything else is an integer and the upper layer has to provide names (which in fact are always necessary).

There are a number of ports underway.  List: anyone know of one for Java JNI? Folks on the IRC channel may know more.

rns: Thanks!  Your better answers crossed mine. :-)

:) They should work together pretty well.

Thanx for the list. I've added it to Marpa's FAQ: http://savage.net.au/Perl-modules/html/marpa.papers/chapter3.html
