Hi Hans,
I understand and basically agree, but practically speaking the Python one is done already and works very nicely http://mccormick.cx/projects/PyPd/PdParser.html the Javascript one is web based so it doesn't make sense there (cross browser plugins, gah) and is done anyway too (WebPd). I guess I could write the one for Java in C but that just seems like a roundabout way to get it working and would make my build process headachey. What would be good is if Pd itself (and hence lib-pd) provided some API to query the data structure of a Patch. I don't realistically see that happening any time soon.
So anyone got Java code for parsing Pd patches? If not I will post my results here once I have it working.
Chris.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to make the Pd C code into a C lib, then make bindings for other languages?

Hi,
Before I go ahead and write it myself, does anyone have code for
parsing Pd files into sensible Java data structures? Seems like I am
always writing this same bit of code in different languages - Python, Javascript, and now Java.Cheers,
Chris.

Looking at things from a more basic level, you can come up with a more
direct solution... It may sound small in theory, but it in practice, it can change entire economies. - Amy Smith
