SyntaxParser.Core 2.2.3

SyntaxParser

For those whom want to parse business understandable, and easy to read commands or delimiter separated documents, e.g. CSV's, in to an C# instance.

Not intended to replace JSON or other data structures for external oriented production software. Use it to speed up project Initialization, produce data and workflow in harmony with the business.

Usage

SyntaxAttribute

Decorate a class with the SyntaxAttribute.

[Syntax($"{nameof(From)}=>{nameof(To)}")]
public class Example

	public string From { get; set; }

	public string To { get; set; }
}

Parse file or text to instances.

var result = SyntaxParser.ParseText<Example>("Rome=>Paris");

// result will be an array, Example[], with the following instances.
//[
// { 
//    "From" : "Rome",
//    "To" : "Paris"
// }
//]

Parse file or text to json.

var result = SyntaxParser.ParseTextToJson<Example>("Rome=>Paris");

// result will be a json array with the following instances.
//[
// { 
//    "From" : "Rome",
//    "To" : "Paris"
// }
//]

SingleDelimiterAttribute

Decorate a class with the SingleDelimiterSyntax.

public class CsvExample
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
    public DateTime SubscriptionDate { get; set; }
}

Parse file or text to instances.

//    "Name" : "John Doe",
//    "Age" : 42,
//    "SubscriptionDate" : {24-3-2022 00:00:00}
