Starscript

Fast text formatting language for Java.

• Lightweight with no dependencies
• Faster than String.format (See Benchmark)
• Standard operators + - * / % ^
• Ability to call functions defined in java
• Variables can be different each time they are used
• Conditional output (ternary operator)
• Variables can be maps

Examples

• Hello {name}!
• Number: {someNumber * 100}
• FPS: {round(fps)}
• Today is a {good ? 'good' : 'bad'} day
• Name: {player.name}

Usage

Gradle:

repositories {
    maven {
        name = "meteor-maven"
        url = "https://maven.meteordev.org/releases"
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation "meteordevelopment:starscript:0.2.2"
}

Java:

// Parse
Parser.Result result = Parser.parse("Hello {name}!");

// Check for errors
if (result.hasErrors()) {
    for (Error error : result.errors) System.out.println(error);
    return;
}

// Compile
Script script = Compiler.compile(result);

// Create starscript instance
Starscript ss = new Starscript();
StandardLib.init(ss); // Adds a few default functions, not required

ss.set("name", "MineGame159");
// ss.set("name", () -> Value.string("MineGame159"));

// Run
System.out.println(ss.run(script)); // Hello MineGame159!
