# Learning how compilers work

## About

A simple JSON editor implemented as an exercice

to learn more about:

 - context-free grammars (BNF)

 - languages,

 - lexers and

 - parsers

## Installation

Install [git](https://git-scm.org) and clone the project repository

```

git clone https://github.com/thierrymarianne/experimenting-with-compilation-principles

```

Install [node.js](https://nodejs.org), 

preferally with [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm)

Install the project JavaScript dependencies with [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install#mac-stable) 

```

yarn install

```

or [npm](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)

```

npm install

```

## Development

Run a development server with [webpack](https://webpack.js.org/)

```

npm run webpack-serve

```

## Distribute

```

npm run distribute

```

## Test

```

npm run test

```

## Possible applications of the underling concepts 

 - Allow an interactive selection of packages among those available from remotes

 (e.g. package.json with npmjs.org or composer.json with packagist.org) to remove tedium 

 from these tasks

 - Make a semantic diff of parsed tokens (in order to consider not only characters deletion / 

 additions but also variations in language usage, control flow, variables and methods between

 refactoring sessions to identify patterns of improvement by grouping small and repeatable

 actions already indexed at https://refactoring.com), to provide help in reorganizing code in a

 reproducible way (think wayback machine / time travel for code) so that code review might also

 be an occasion to replay how decisions were made in context.
