Simple Input File Format

The following format is designed for quick debugging of the software. This format may change or be removed at any time.

Each line is trimmed of leading and trailing whitespace before being parsed.

Any text after a number sign (#) is considered to be a comment, and removed (along with the number sign itself). If a line is empty after being removed of its comment, it is skipped from further processing.

A line which begins with a keyword is a definition line, and is split into space-delimited tokens. The amount of tokens required for a line depends on the keyword:

• package <package name>
• class <class name>
• field <field name> <descriptor>
• method <method name> <method descriptor>
• parameter <index> [name]

Package and class names use forward slashes (/) instead of periods (.).

The owning class of field and method definitions will be the previously defined class. The owning method of a method parameter definition will be the previously defined method.

Any lines that are not definition lines are javadoc lines, which will be attributed to the previous definition. There may be 0 or more javadoc lines between any two definitions.

Example:

package com/example/package
# This is a comment, and will not be a javadoc line
class com/example/package/ExampleClass
	Some javadoc for this class
    field thingy I # defines a field
    	Javadoc for the field
    method main ([Ljava/lang/String;)V
        param 0 test
