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

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
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.

Have you seen iemguts? Its a Pd library for inspecting state of
patches. I suppose it could be turned into a C library also, then
wrapped for Java, Python, etc. ;)

That sounds pretty awesome but you are forgetting my NIH syndrome and Vanilla Pd zealotry. (actually I am just much too lazy to start with your excellent idea).
