## Java Parser and Abstract Syntax Tree

This package contains a Java 1.8 Parser with AST generation and visitor support.

The AST records the source code structure, javadoc and comments. It is also possible to change the AST nodes or create new ones to modify the source code.

## History

This parser is based on work by Sreenivasa Viswanadha and Júlio Vilmar Gesser. The original project, now inactive, was originally hosted at [Google Code](http://code.google.com/p/javaparser/) and supported only parsing Java 1.5.

The project now supports parsing Java 1.8 and aims to continue support for features in future versions of the Java language.

## Related projects

[JavaSymbolSolver](https://github.com/javaparser/javasymbolsolver) is a project from the same committers working on JavaParser.
You can use it to calculate the type of JavaParser expressions and connecting references with their declarations. 

From JavaParser other projects have been derived:

* [Walkmod](http://walkmod.com/): a tool to automatically correct violations of code conventions
* [jooby spec](http://jooby.org/doc/spec): analyze and exports [jooby routes](http://jooby.org) to [raml](http://raml.org) and [Swagger](http://swagger.io)

## Credits

This project has been maintained thanks to the joint efforts of many contributors: we are extremely grateful to all of them.
