About The Project

A Java implementation of the Lox programming language. This is directly from Bob Nystrom's site Crafting Interpreters.

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

None. This will work with Java 8 or higher.

Installation

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/bigangryguy/jlox.git

Usage

For now, reference the Lox grammar appendix on the Crafting Interpreters site. In the future, as cloxplus adds new features and forks from the original language specification, a full grammar reference will be included here.

Roadmap

See the open issues for a list of proposed features (and known issues).

This is a completion of the project. A continued implementation of the Lox language in C++, with plans for extensions to the original language specification, can be found in my cloxplus project.
