About

This program parses an XML file passed as a command line argument and spits out to stdout the following structure for each token:

{TOKEN TYPE} -> LEXEME

Lexing

There are currently 11 token types that the parser identifies (but will increase with time):

• BEGIN_TAG '<NAME'
• END_TAG '>'
• END_AND_CLOSE_TAG '/>'
• CLOSE_TAG '
• ATTR_NAME Text inside tag before EQUAL_SIGN
• ATTR_VALUE Text inside tag after EQUAL_SIGN that is between quotes
• TEXT Pure text inside a tag
• EQUAL_SIGN '='
• WHITESPACE ' \n\r\t'
• END_OF_FILE Special EOF character
• ERROR Any other case that does not fit
