GBObjectiveCParser Class Reference

Inherits from NSObject
Declared in GBObjectiveCParser.h<br />GBObjectiveCParser.m

Overview

Implements Objective-C source code parser.

The main responsibility of this class is encapsulation of Objective-C source code parsing into in-memory representation. As we're only parsing a small subset of Objective-C and even then we don't need to handle much specifics beyond recognizing different classes, variables, methods etc., overall the parsing process is quite simple. Basically we use ParseKit's PKTokenizer to split given input string into tokens and then traverse the list of tokens to get the data we need.
