CHAPI (Common Hierarchical Abstract Parser and Information Converter) streamlines code analysis by converting source code from different languages into a unified abstract model, making cross-language analysis and tooling easier.

Chapi 是一个通用层次抽象解析器与信息转换器，它可以将不同编程语言的源代码转换为统一的层次抽象模型， 从而简化跨语言的代码分析与工具构建。

Chapi => Cha Pi => Tea Pi => Tea π => 茶 π. Reference: Tea if by sea, cha if by land.

Chapi (pronounced /tʃɑpi/) can also be read as “XP” in Chinese if you pronounce “X” as “叉”.

Projects using Chapi

  • ArchGuard — An architecture workbench for architecture governance. It can analyze architecture at container/component/code levels, create architecture fitness functions, and inspect system dependencies.
  • UnitGen — A fine-tuning data framework that generates datasets from your existing codebase.
  • ChocoBuilder — An LLM toolkit for building custom AI assistants.

Parsing / analysis rules

Chapi scans twice to improve cross-file resolution.

  • It helps find data structures in the same package/module.

TypeScript

  1. PackageName uses the resolved path. For example, src/grammar/blbla.ts becomes @.grammar.
  2. Top-level functions in a file use default as DataStructure.Name.
  3. export default Object uses default as FunctionName and belongs to the default data structure.

C# notes

C

We use https://github.com/shevek/jcpp to preprocess C code.

Kotlin

  • warpTargetFullType is required to resolve classes in the same package.

Usage

Add dependencies:

dependencies {
    implementation "com.phodal.chapi:chapi-ast-java:2.5.2"
    implementation "com.phodal.chapi:chapi-domain:2.5.2"
}

Example (Kotlin):

import chapi.domain.core.CodeDataStruct
import kotlinx.coroutines.async
import kotlinx.coroutines.awaitAll
import kotlinx.coroutines.runBlocking
import org.archguard.scanner.core.sourcecode.SourceCodeContext
import java.io.File

class CSharpAnalyser(override val context: SourceCodeContext)

private val client = context.client
private val impl = chapi.ast.csharpast.CSharpAnalyser()

fun analyse(): List<CodeDataStruct> = runBlocking {
    getFilesByPath(context.path) {
        it.absolutePath.endsWith(".cs")
    }
        .map { async { analysisByFile(it) } }.awaitAll()
        .flatten()
        .also { client.saveDataStructure(it) }
}

fun analysisByFile(file: File): List<CodeDataStruct> {
    val codeContainer = impl.analysis(file.readContent(), file.name)
    return codeContainer.Containers.flatMap { container ->
        container.DataStructures.map {
            it.apply {
                it.Imports = codeContainer.Imports
                it.FilePath = file.absolutePath
            }
        }
    }
}

Development

Syntax parsing identification rules:

  1. Package name
  2. Import name
  3. Class / data structure
    1. Structure name
    2. Structure parameters
    3. Function names
    4. Return types
    5. Function parameters
  4. Function
    1. Function name
    2. Return types
    3. Function parameters
  5. Method call
    1. New instance call
    2. Parameter call
    3. Field call
