Refactor Progress

The purpose of this document is to track the parser architecture refactor works on #114.

Parser Architecture Refactor

The main interest are ***Parser.h files with the exception of the UriParser.h file and the parse() route. Necessary Markdown-AST processing files were already refactored and are not included in this list.

The list is ordered in the way the work should be done (first to last):

  • AssetParser.h
  • HeadersParser.h
  • PayloadParser.h
  • ParameterDefinitionParser.h
  • ParametersParser.h
  • ActionParser.h
  • ResourceParser.h
  • ResourceGroupParser.h
  • BlueprintParser.h
  • snowcrash.cc

Note: Section parsers are now solely a partial specifications of SectionProcessor.

Test Refactor

Tests should be refactored alongside with the respective files mentioned above, as such they are not listed on this Wiki.

Note: Tests should no longer construct Markdown AST, instead parse blueprint snippets using provided SectionParserHelper::parse()

Verification

  • Leak test
  • Performance test
  • Regression test

Performance Check

Add benchmark results and analysis collected using the perf target on a representative collection of blueprints (e.g. blueprints listed at Apiary.io homepage)

Leak Test

Using the perf detect and fix any possible memory leaks.

Regression Test

In coordination with Protagonist – use pre and after refactor versions of protagonist to compare serialized outputs of parsing an input blueprint

Double Content-Type

  • Resolved

Response payload with a Content-Type in signature when referencing a model with a Content-Type in its signature result in 2 Content-Type headers.

Given

# A [/a]
+ model (type)
    
        X

## GET 
+ response 200 (type)
    
    [A][]

Actual (after-refactor)

OK.

Resolution

New behavior (actual) is OK and not considered a regression issue.

Unrecognized parameter

  • Resolved

Recognize parameter when there is no description on its signature and remaining description is not a new node.

Given:

+ id (required, string)
  This is a description

OK.

Resolution

  1. Leave the actual (new) behavior.
  2. Create a new issue for not warning about ingoring excessively nested responses.

Model reference indentation

  • Resolved

When a symbol is referenced in a Payload, parser warns them if it's not indented by 8 spaces. (BUG)

Given

      {...}

## List [GET]

+ Response 200

  [Posts][]

Actual

OK.
warning: (10)  response is expected to be a pre-formatted code block, every of its line indented by exactly 4 spaces or 1 tabs :0:0
warning: (1)  expected API name, e.g. '# <API Name>' :0:17
