Spoon: A Library for Implementing Analyses and Transformations of Java Source Code

by Renaud Pawlak, Martin Monperrus, Nicolas Petitprez, Carlos Noguera and Lionel Seinturier

Abstract: This paper presents SPOON, a library for the analysis and transformation of Java source code. SPOON enables Java developers to write a large range of domain-specific analyses and transformations in an easy and concise manner. SPOON analyses and transformations are written in plain Java. With SPOON, developers do not need to dive into parsing, to hack a compiler infrastructure, or to master a new formalism.
