java-parser

java-parser is a JavaScript-based parser for Java source code, designed to operate without a JVM. It takes Java code as input and produces a Concrete Syntax Tree (CST) using the Chevrotain parsing toolkit. The current stable version is 3.0.1. While it is a foundational, internal component of the `prettier-plugin-java` project for formatting, it can be used independently to programmatically analyze Java code. The library offers functionality to parse raw code into a CST and then transform that CST into a more abstract AST representation. This capability makes it suitable for static analysis, code transformations, or custom tooling within JavaScript environments where JVM-based parsers are not practical or desired. Releases often align with its parent `prettier-java` monorepo updates, typically focusing on parser correctness and AST generation improvements.
