Class Interpreter

java.lang.Object

ch.qos.logback.core.joran.spi.Interpreter

public class Interpreter
extends java.lang.Object

Interpreter is Joran's main driving class. It extends SAX DefaultHandler which invokes various actions according to predefined patterns.

Patterns are kept in a RuleStore which is programmed to store and then later produce the applicable actions for a given pattern.

The pattern corresponding to a top level <a> element is the string "a".

The pattern corresponding to an element <b> embedded within a top level <a> element is the string "a/b".

The pattern corresponding to an <b> and any level of nesting is "*/b. Thus, the * character placed at the beginning of a pattern serves as a wildcard for the level of nesting. Conceptually, this is very similar to the API of commons-digester. Joran offers several small advantages. First and foremost, it offers support for implicit actions which result in a significant leap in flexibility. Second, in our opinion better error reporting capability. Third, it is self-reliant. It does not depend on other APIs, in particular commons-logging which is too unreliable. Last but not least, Joran is quite tiny and is expected to remain so.
