Interface Translator<S,T>

All Known Subinterfaces:

Translator.ScriptTranslator, Translator.StepTranslator<S,T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

DotNetTranslator, GolangTranslator, GroovyTranslator, GroovyTranslator, JavascriptTranslator, JavaTranslator, PythonTranslator

public interface Translator<S,T>

A Translator will translate Bytecode into another representation. That representation may be a Java instance via Translator.StepTranslator or a String script in some language via Translator.ScriptTranslator. The parameterization of Translator is S (traversal source) and T (full translation).

Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type	Interface and Description
static interface	Translator.ScriptTranslator Translates bytecode to a Script representation.
static interface	Translator.StepTranslator<S extends TraversalSource,T extends Traversal.Admin<?,?>> Translates bytecode to actual steps.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
String	getTargetLanguage() Get the language that the translator is converting the traversal byte code to.
S	getTraversalSource() Get the TraversalSource representation rooting this translator.
T	translate(Bytecode bytecode) Translate Bytecode into a new representation.
default T	translate(Traversal<?,?> t) Translates a Traversal into the specified form

Method Detail

getTraversalSource

S getTraversalSource()

Get the TraversalSource representation rooting this translator. For string-based translators (Translator.ScriptTranslator), this is typically a "g". For java-based translators (Translator.StepTranslator), this is typically the TraversalSource instance which the Traversal will be built from.

Returns:

the traversal source representation

translate

T translate(Bytecode bytecode)

Translate Bytecode into a new representation. Typically, for language translations, the translation is to a string representing the traversal in the respective scripting language.

Parameters:

bytecode - the bytecode representing traversal source and traversal manipulations.

Returns:

the translated object

translate

default T translate(Traversal<?,?> t)

Translates a Traversal into the specified form

getTargetLanguage

String getTargetLanguage()

Get the language that the translator is converting the traversal byte code to.

Returns:

the language of the translation
