Semantic Parser

The parser module is responsible for analyzing raw source code and constructing a highly granular semantic relationship graph.

Role

Traditional line-based tools cannot accurately capture the nuances of an Object-Oriented codebase. By leveraging Tree-sitter, the parser builds an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) that natively understands the target language (currently Java).

It operates in two passes:

  1. Pass 1 (Discovery): Scans all files and recursively identifies classes, interfaces, and methods.
  2. Pass 2 (Linking): Scans the AST for method invocations. Whenever Method A is seen calling Method B, it searches the index and creates a CALLS edge between them.

Outputs

The tool generates a raw graph.json artifact containing thousands of Nodes and Edges. Optionally, it can export this structured data into a Graphviz .dot file for low-level visual validation.
