Developer Information
Other information
| Jacson is just another tools that takes advantage of
the ability to construct highly configurable tools by the
combination of rich (XML) configuration and Java dynamic
class loading. The flexibilty and extensibilty of Jacson
stems from the fact that all kinds of classes are clean
plugins determined by an public interface and
loaded at runtime.
For standard configuration there are the following main
types of configuration classes:
There is also a wider range of plugin classes which are
not necessary in all contexts:
- Sources model different ways
to feed data into the Jacson process. Different types of
main classes and programs use different Sources. Since
Jacson-0.89 there exist a new plugin
JacsonGenericChunkSource introducing configurable Jacson
Sources.
- Selections modify the behaviour
of certain Filters. If you need them
depends on whether you use these Filters.
- Stemmers
are the same, if you need them it depends on the Filters
you use.
- Handlers
are the similar, they act as a plugin to the
RegExpEvaluation.
If you don't use that Evaluator, you don't need to know them.
You can find more information about plugin classes
in the lifecycle page in the
Developers section.
