Class LexerParser<T extends Options<?>>

java.lang.Object
  org.hyphenType.lexerparser.LexerParser<T>

Type Parameters:

T -

public class LexerParser<T extends Options<?>>
extends Object

A LexerParser is an object that can parse an array of strings and create a list of tokens from it. To do so, the LexerParser's constructor performs a deep analysis on the options interface.

Therefore, invoking the LexerParser constructor can also be used to validate the options interface.
