JagTag

JagTag is a simple - yet powerful and customizable - interpretted text parsing language! Some methods are included in the built-in libraries, and additional methods can be defined that utilize the parser environment veriables, as well as the method's input.

Simple Example

import com.jagrosh.jagtag.*;
public class Example
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    Parser parser = JagTag.newDefaultBuilder()
                .addMethod( new Method("exclaim", (env,in) -> in[0]+"!!!") )
                .build();
    String result = parser.parse("{exclaim:{if:this|=|that|then:Foo Bar|else:Hello World}}");
    System.out.println(result);
  }
}

Result: Hello World!!!
