public class ExpressionVisitors extends Object
Utils for traversing expressions.
  • Method Details

    • visit

      public static <R> R visit(Expression expr, ExpressionVisitors.ExpressionVisitor<R> visitor)
      Traverses the given expression with a visitor.

      The visitor will be called to handle each node in the expression tree in postfix order. Result values produced by child nodes are passed when parent nodes are handled.

      Type Parameters:
      R - the return type produced by the expression visitor
      Parameters:
      expr - an expression to traverse
      visitor - a visitor that will be called to handle each node in the expression tree
      Returns:
      the value returned by the visitor for the root expression node
    • visitEvaluator

      public static Boolean visitEvaluator(Expression expr, ExpressionVisitors.ExpressionVisitor<Boolean> visitor)
      Traverses the given expression with a visitor.

      The visitor will be called to handle only nodes required for determining result in the expression tree in postfix order. Result values produced by child nodes are passed when parent nodes are handled.

      Parameters:
      expr - an expression to traverse
      visitor - a visitor that will be called to handle each node in the expression tree
      Returns:
      the value returned by the visitor for the root expression node
    • visit

      public static <R> R visit(Expression expr, ExpressionVisitors.CustomOrderExpressionVisitor<R> visitor)
      Traverses the given expression with a visitor.

      This passes a Supplier to each non-leaf visitor method. The supplier returns the result of traversing child expressions. Getting the result of the supplier allows traversing the expression in the desired order.

      Type Parameters:
      R - the return type produced by the expression visitor
      Parameters:
      expr - an expression to traverse
      visitor - a visitor that will be called to handle each node in the expression tree
      Returns:
      the value returned by the visitor for the root expression node
