[WEB] Config Tree Parser

[Grimly]

Hello,

The tool I present here is nothing an average player may be looking for, this is more for tool developpers.

In order to learn how do parsers work, I made myself a LL(1) parser for KSP config files. The parser has been written in Javascript and so the analysed tree is in JSON.

Here is the application : https://output.jsbin.com/wudife ( source : https://output.jsbin.com/wudife/edit?html,css,js )

Warning : It's not pretty and I'm not making it pretty.

Drop a CFG file (or save file as it has the same format) and it will give you back a JSON file.

If I have to give a licence to my parser, then consider it has the WTFPL ( http://www.wtfpl.net/txt/copying/ ).

If in a console (hit F12 on your browser) you type the following command, you will find all the building blocs I used and maybe understand all about how the parser was made.

Array.prototype.forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('pre, table'), function(p) { p.style.display = 'block' });

You are free to reuse the javascript parser. I made it easy enough so you just need to build the syntaxical analyzer and make it parse your string :

tree = CFGAnalyzer().fullParse(content);

This may help web developpers to build applications around a config or save file with more ease as the parsed object is now accessible.
