? Who is this package built for? Jtree is for people who want to design Tree Languages, make Tree editing tools, or use the Tree Component Web Framework. You can think of jtree as similar to the Java Development Kit, except for Tree Notation instead of Java.

? How do I build a new language? You can try the Grammar tutorial. link grammarTutorial.html Grammar tutorial

Grammar Files

Jtree contains a Tree Language called "Grammar". You can write new Grammar files to define new languages. By creating a grammar file you get a parser, a type checker, syntax highlighting, autocomplete, a compiler, and virtual machine for executing your new language. Jtree also includes a simple web Tree Language Designer. https://jtree.treenotation.org/designer Designer

To make your language do really interesting things, you'll want to write some code to extend your language nodes in another language that you know. Jtree lets you create new languages using just Tree Notation, Tree Notation + TypeScript, or Tree Notation + Javascript. Tree Notation and Tree Languages can be built with any language, however, not just TypeScript and Javascript. We are looking for volunteers to build libraries/sdks in other host languages.

Using Jtree

Quick start

• Open https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/breck7/jtree
• Run: code npm install -g ts-node npm install . npm run test

Jtree currently includes over 10 compiled projects (aka "products") and more than a dozen Tree Languages.

Basic TreeNode library for npm projects:

code const {TreeNode} = require("jtree/products/TreeNode.js") const tree = new TreeNode("hello world") console.log(tree.asString)

Basic TreeNode library + Grammar Language for the browser:

code

jtree "sandbox" web app for exploring base Tree Notation

code npm install . npm run local open http://localhost:3333/

jtree "Designer" web app for building new Tree Languages

code npm install . npm run local open http://localhost:3333/designer

TreeComponentFramework for building web apps

This is a web framework still in the research stage. Whether it evolves into a serious line of effort is unknown.

Sample Languages

More than 12 example Tree Languages for helping with various tasks. See the langs/ folder.

Build Tools

If you look at the source, you will also see a set of build tools (such as Builder and TypeScriptRewriter). These are currently undocumented and not recommended for external use.

Building all tools and running tests

code npm run build npm test

Monorepo

Jtree is a monorepo. With on average over 1 major version released each month for the past 2.5 years, it would take a lot of overhead to constantly be updating 10+ different repositories and modules every month. Once we're more confident in the theory and best practices, it might make sense to break this repo into independent modules. That being said, we despise unnecessary dependencies as much as anyone. If anyone wants to create some automated submodules built from the projects in this monorepo, to allow for consuming of a smaller subset of the code and dependencies in this module, feel free to do so.

Development Status

All breaking changes are mentioned in the releaseNotes. We follow semantic versioning, so breaking changes should not happen if you stay on the same major version. link releaseNotes.html releaseNotes

Tree Notation Libraries in Other Languages

If you build a Tree Notation library/SDK in another language, let us know and we'll add a link.

If you are working on a Tree Notation library in a new host language, feel free to post an issue or ask for help in the TreeNotation subreddit. https://reddit.com/r/treenotation subreddit

How to bump versions

code npm run updateVersion NEW_NUMBER

Alternatives Considered

This is the first Tree Notation library in existence, so there were no alternative implementations. Note and Space were predecessors to Tree Notation. If a better alternative low level notation to Tree Notation is possible, it has yet to be discovered.

All that said, the important part of this repo is not the code but the design patterns. Tree Notation is very simple, and you can implement the patterns contained here in your own code without using this library. In fact, that is often the best way to use Tree Notation!

Editing in Sublime Text

It is helpful to set "goto_anything_exclude_gitignore": true to ignore files in gitignore. Read more here. https://breckyunits.com/code/my-sublime-setttings.html here
