<< Writing A Robust Little Parser in Swift –Part 2Writing A Robust Little Parser in Swift –Part 4 >>
ABSTRACT
In the previous post, we established a “black box” function signature for our parser, and set up a bunch of tests.
Now, we need to figure out what goes into that black box.
THE DESCENT
Since the data can be located inside a single-path tree structure, a Recursive-Descent Parser looks like a good bet.
Recursive-Descent Parsers are a venerable and robust way to reduce lines of code, and provide a way to navigate unlimited depth context trees.
We’ll just put a wee little Swift spin on the eight ball…
Yeah…Yeah. I Know. I Know.
Yes. The RDP is NOT the most efficient algorithm for this kind of thing. It’s a completely linear method that hijacks the execution thread and fails miserably in highly parallel environments.
I chose it for exactly the same reason that folks choose simple “textbook” algorithms for training. It’s a well-known quantity, and, most importantly, can be expressed easily in a playground. If I were to choose a threaded approach, maybe using Dispatch Groups, it would not be as easy to demonstrate tests, and those tests would require things like XCTest Expectations, which won’t work in playgrounds.
Just chill, keep your hands inside the car, and enjoy the ride…
INITIAL SETUP
Let’s start by renaming our function to be a bit more reflective of what we’ll be using it for. I’m a big fan of long, highly explanatory function and variable names:
func recursiveDescentParser(_ inDictionaryToBeParsed: [String: Any]) -> [String] {
return []
}
One of the things about any recursive function, is that they can’t have a “state.” Any state needs to be brought in via the function parameters, and exported (usually via the function return –I like to avoid inout parameters). That means that this will be a complete “black box,” but, more importantly, it will be a predictable black box. What comes out will be completely reproducible, depending on what goes in.
TDD Techniques
We’ll be using some fairly basic TDD techniques in the development of this parser. I’m not a “TDD Purist.” I don’t believe that the methodology is practical or applicable in all situations, but where it can be used, I think it’s a good idea to use it. It really does result in high-quality code that has high maintainability.
A fundamental tenet of TDD, is that you start with a set of tests that fail, and then code until they pass.
Since we are using playgrounds, we don’t have access to the XCTest framework, and we’ll need to use old-fashioned print() statements that appear in the console.
So let’s set up our tests, and then we’ll get to work on the function:
// Test Set 1
jsonInterpretations.forEach {
let parsedResult = recursiveDescentParser($0)
if whatWeWantToSee != parsedResult {
print("ERROR! Bad Result for \($0)")
} else {
print("\($0) Passes!")
}
}
// Test Set 2
jsonInterpretationsSecondaryTests.forEach {
let parsedResult = recursiveDescentParser($0)
if whatWeWantToSee2 != parsedResult {
print("ERROR! Bad Result for \($0)")
} else {
print("\($0) Passes!")
}
}
Run the playground. Every single test fails –massively. That’s exactly what’s supposed to happen.
ERROR! Bad Result for ["containerElement": <__nsarrayi 0x60000006e5c0>(
{
arrayElement = "Element Value 01";
},
{
arrayElement = "Element Value 02";
},
{
arrayElement = "Element Value 03";
},
{
arrayElement = "Element Value 04";
},
{
arrayElement = "Element Value 05";
}
)
]
·
·
·
ERROR! Bad Result for ["containerElement": <__nsarrayi 0x600000008040>(
{
arrayElement = 3;
},
{
arrayElement = "3.14";
},
{
arrayElement = "0123456789!@~*&^%$#.,;:?/'";
},
{
arrayElement = 1234567890;
},
{
arrayElement = "12345.6789";
}
)
]
Just to reduce the “noise,” let’s comment out the second set of tests for now:
// Test Set 1
jsonInterpretations.forEach {
let parsedResult = recursiveDescentParser($0)
if whatWeWantToSee != parsedResult {
print("ERROR! Bad Result for \($0)")
} else {
print("\($0) Passes!")
}
}
// Test Set 2
//jsonInterpretationsSecondaryTests.forEach {
// let parsedResult = recursiveDescentParser($0)
// if whatWeWantToSee2 != parsedResult {
// print("ERROR! Bad Result for \($0)")
// } else {
// print("\($0) Passes!")
// }
//}
We’ll work on getting the first set going.
Also, since our console is gonna be filled with error reports for quite a while, let’s reduce the verbosity of the reports in the first set of tests:
// Test Set 1
jsonInterpretations.forEach {
let parsedResult = recursiveDescentParser($0)
if whatWeWantToSee != parsedResult {
// print("ERROR! Bad Result for \($0)")
print("ERROR! Bad Result!")
} else {
// print("\($0) Passes!")
print("Passes!")
}
}
That’s not going to be a particularly helpful message (we’ll need to beef it up a bit, later), but it won’t fill the console with cruft.
If you run the playground now, you’ll get a much more palatable response:
ERROR! Bad Result! ERROR! Bad Result! ERROR! Bad Result! ERROR! Bad Result! ERROR! Bad Result! ERROR! Bad Result! ERROR! Bad Result! ERROR! Bad Result! ERROR! Bad Result! ERROR! Bad Result! ERROR! Bad Result! ERROR! Bad Result! ERROR! Bad Result! ERROR! Bad Result! ERROR! Bad Result! ERROR! Bad Result! ERROR! Bad Result!
Now, we’re ready to start filling in the parser function. We’ll do that in the next post.
