|
30 * An interface that defines both lookup protocol and parsing of |
|
31 * symbolic names. |
|
32 * |
|
33 * <p>A symbol table maintains two kinds of mappings. The first is |
|
34 * between symbolic names and their values. For example, if the |
|
35 * variable with the name "start" is set to the value "alpha" |
|
36 * (perhaps, though not necessarily, through an expression such as |
|
37 * "$start=alpha"), then the call lookup("start") will return the |
|
38 * char[] array ['a', 'l', 'p', 'h', 'a']. |
|
39 * |
|
40 * <p>The second kind of mapping is between character values and |
|
41 * UnicodeMatcher objects. This is used by RuleBasedTransliterator, |
|
42 * which uses characters in the private use area to represent objects |
|
43 * such as UnicodeSets. If U+E015 is mapped to the UnicodeSet [a-z], |
|
44 * then lookupMatcher(0xE015) will return the UnicodeSet [a-z]. |
|
45 * |
|
46 * <p>Finally, a symbol table defines parsing behavior for symbolic |
|
47 * names. All symbolic names start with the SYMBOL_REF character. |
|
48 * When a parser encounters this character, it calls parseReference() |
|
49 * with the position immediately following the SYMBOL_REF. The symbol |
|
50 * table parses the name, if there is one, and returns it. |
|
