Yet Another Generating Method of Fluent Interfaces Supporting Flat- and Sub-chaining Styles
Pages 249 - 259
Abstract
Researchers discovered methods to generate fluent interfaces equipped with static checking to verify their calling conventions. This static checking is done by carefully designing classes and method signatures to make type checking to perform a calculation equivalent to syntax checking. In this paper, we propose a method to generate a fluent interface with syntax checking, which accepts both styles of method chaining; flat-chaining style and sub-chaining style. Supporting both styles is worthwhile because it allows programmers to wrap out parts of their method chaining for readability. Our method is based on grammar rewriting so that we could inspect the acceptable grammar. In conclusion, our method succeeds generation when the input grammar is LL(1) and there is no non-terminal symbol that generates either only an empty string or nothing.

Generating a fluent API with syntax checking from an LR grammar
This paper proposes a fluent API generator for Scala, Haskell, and C++. It receives a grammar definition and generates a code skeleton of the library in the host programming language. The generated library is accessed through a chain of method calls; ...
Silverchain: a fluent API generator
GPCE 2017: Proceedings of the 16th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Generative Programming: Concepts and ExperiencesThis paper presents a tool named Silverchain, which generates class definitions for a fluent API from the grammar of the API. A fluent API is an API that is used by method chaining and its grammar is a BNF-like set of rules that defines method chains ...
Yet another chart-based technique for parsing ill-formed input
ANLC '94: Proceedings of the fourth conference on Applied natural language processingA new chart-based technique for parsing ill-formed input is proposed. This can process sentences with unknown/misspelled words, omitted words or extraneous words. This generalized parsing strategy is, similar to Mellish's, based on an active chart ...
