JavaSymbolSolver
A Java symbol solver that resolves type references and declarations in Java code by analyzing JavaParser ASTs.
What is JavaSymbolSolver?
JavaSymbolSolver is a Java library that resolves symbols and types in Java source code by analyzing Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs) generated by JavaParser. It solves the problem of determining which declaration a symbol refers to and inferring expression types, which is essential for building code analysis, refactoring, or documentation tools.
Java developers and tool builders who need semantic analysis capabilities, such as those building IDEs, linters, code generators, or static analysis tools that require accurate type and symbol resolution.
Developers choose JavaSymbolSolver because it seamlessly integrates with JavaParser, provides robust support for modern Java features, and offers a flexible TypeSolver architecture that can handle source files, JAR dependencies, and reflection-based resolution.
