Objects

Objects

Objects are the fundamental building blocks of a Crodox grammar definition. There are two types of objects: visible and invisible (hidden).

Visible Objects <: :>

Visible objects can be referenced by other objects and appear in the dependency graph.

<:visible:> class <<name>> () { <---> } <:>

Invisible (Hidden) Objects <* *>

Invisible objects are used for structural purposes. They cannot be referenced by other objects.

<*invisible*> { <---> } <*>

Key Difference

Both <:> and <*> define objects. However, only visible objects can be referenced. Invisible objects are mainly used for structural definitions that organize the grammar without participating in the dependency graph.
