Generalizing the common pattern of implementing Regular Expressions (RE) by converting them into a finite automaton that can be programmed, is the main idea of the Regular Expression Java Code Generator. Writing code that writes code has been introduced in Lisp, but taking this into a higher level by introducing the possibility to execute, and modify the written code is the main aim of this project. A “compiler” for regular expressions is useful to turn the expressions we write into executable code.
Automatic Java Code Generator for Regular Expressions
Programming and resolving problems within automata theory is a complex process, which is time consuming and still the results may not be reliable (because of the great possibility to make mistakes while doing the required traversing steps). This project is an introduction of a tool that automatically generates Java Source Code for a given RE or Finite Automata, which significantly reduces complexity and increases productivity in a very short time. This is also a learning process tool, that can be used as a starting point to better understand the automata theory.
Regular Expression Code Generator tool provides support for auto generating Java code for programming and executing (deterministic) finite automatons. It takes as input a regular expression and converts it into an equivalent non-deterministic and deterministic finite automaton, then automatically generates Java Source Code with the implementation of the DFA for the given RE.
