Category: Parser (takes in source code and outputs cc.json)

The Unified Parser is parser to generate code metrics from a source code file or a project folder without relying on tools other than CodeCharta. It generates either a cc.json or a csv file.

Supported Languages

  • Typescript
  • Java
  • Kotlin
  • C#
  • C++
  • C
  • Python
  • Go
  • Bash

Supported Metrics

Metric Description
Complexity Complexity of a file based on the number of paths through the code (McCabe Complexity)
Comment lines The number of comment lines found in a file
Lines of code (LOC) Lines of code including empty lines and comments
Real lines of code (RLOC) Number of lines that contain at least one character which is neither a whitespace nor a tabulation nor part of a comment

Usage and Parameters

Parameter Description
FOLDER or FILE The project folder or code file to parse
-e, --exclude=<exclude> comma-separated list of regex patterns to exclude files/folders
-fe, --file-extensions=<fileExtensions> comma-separated list of file-extensions to parse only those files (default: any)
-h, --help displays this help and exits
-nc, --not-compressed save uncompressed output File
-o, --output-file=<outputFile> output File (or empty for stdout)
--verbose displays messages about parsed and ignored files
--without-default-excludes do not exclude build, target, dist and out folders as well as files/folders starting with ‘.’ 
Usage: ccsh unifiedparser [-h] [-nc] [--verbose] [--without-default-excludes]
                          [-o=<outputFile>] [-e=<patternsToExclude>]...
                          [-fe=<fileExtensionsToAnalyse>]... FILE or FOLDER

Examples

The Unified Parser can analyze either a single file or a project folder; here are some sample commands:

ccsh unifiedparser src/test/resources -o foo.cc.json

ccsh unifiedparser src/test/resources/foo.ts -o foo.cc.json

ccsh unifiedparser src/test/resources -o foo.cc.json -nc --verbose

ccsh unifiedparser src/test/resources -o foo.cc.json --without-default-excludes -e=something -e=/.*\.foo

If a project is piped into the UnifiedParser, the results and the piped project are merged. The resulting project has the project name specified for the UnifiedParser.
