JLSP

JLSP: A Lightweight Linear-Time Java Parser

JLSP is an adaptable and efficient Java parser designed for processing mathematical expressions. With a compact footprint of approximately 40kb, this parser excels in speed and functionality, ensuring linear-time operations for enhanced performance.

Key Features

• Custom Operators & Functions: Easily define and implement custom operators and user-defined functions tailored to specific requirements.
• Variable Handling: Supports replaceable variables, allowing any character that isn't a number or delimiter to be treated as a variable, which can be assigned values dynamically.

Quick Start Example

A straightforward example demonstrates the parser's capabilities:

Parser parser = new Parser();
Formula formula = parser.parse("17.43+((3.5+2.1*(7-4%3))^2.3)/((6+4.2+(8%5)))");
System.out.println(formula.inOperationOrderResult());

For convenience, the StaticParser class can be employed for a global parser setup:

Formula formula = StaticParser.parse("17.43+((3.5+2.1*(7-4%3))^2.3)/((6+4.2+(8%5)))");
System.out.println(formula.inOperationOrderResult());

Custom Variables

The parser allows the creation of custom variables and setting their values as follows:

Formula f = ParserStatic.parse("-4+ab+1.7*(k+a)");
// Assign values to variables in the order they appear
f.setVariables(4, 8, 3);

Extending the Parser

Custom operators and functions can be defined to expand the parser's capabilities. For instance:

addOperator('^', (a, b, extra) -> Math.pow(Math.abs(a), b), 10);
addFunction("sqrt", (caller, inOperationOrder, a) -> Math.sqrt(processEntity(caller, a[0], inOperationOrder)));

Additional Configurations

JLSP supports extensive configuration options to fine-tune parsing behavior:

• Custom Delimiters: Define custom delimiters and comma characters.
• Parsing Logic: Replace default parsing logic with custom implementations suited for unique needs.

For comprehensive documentation and additional capabilities, refer to the Javadocs.
