Our parsers simply return the concrete syntax trees in a JSON format. We do not unify all the different syntax constructs into a common AST if that is what you are looking for. The languages and file formats we support are too diverse for that. The language specific logic does not end with the parsers though. The core of SemanticDiff also contains language specific rules that are picked up by the matching and visualization steps. For example, the HTML module might add a rule that the order of attributes within a tag is irrelevant. So it all comes down to writing a generic rule system that makes it easy to add new languages. |
