Class DelimitedTextParser

java.lang.Object
  com.facetmap.simple.DelimitedTextParser

All Implemented Interfaces:

Parser

public abstract class DelimitedTextParser

extends java.lang.Object

implements Parser

This Parser implementation recognizes a data format that was the first format ever used to express a FacetMap map. It's still a convenient, though restrictive, way to author maps by hand very quickly.

We assume that a SimpleResourceSpace is sufficient for your text-parsing needs, so this package provides no interface for parsing other types of Resource.

Field Summary

protected FacetSpace	fSpace
protected Map	map
protected SimpleResourceSpace	rSpace
protected int	taxCount

Constructor Summary

DelimitedTextParser()

Method Summary

abstract Map	createMap() The class will call this method when it needs a Map object.

Method Detail

createMap

public abstract Map createMap()
                       throws DataException,
                              InternalException

The class will call this method when it needs a Map object. Map factories will typically subclass this class and tell it how to make a Map, then call this class's parse() method.

Throws:

DataException

InternalException

parse

public Map parse(java.io.BufferedReader r)
          throws java.io.IOException,
                 DataException,
                 InternalException

Creates a Map from FacetMap plaintext format.
