Under the Hood: How ParCinJ works

With ParCinJ parsing of a character stream is done in two steps:

1. A chunks the characters into tokens. Thereby some characters like white spaces might be dropped. A knows its and its position (line number and column number) in the original character stream.

   The Lexer returns a . This allows to do parsing in streaming mode.

2. A takes the tokens provided by the token iterator and proceed accordingly when the method process() is invoked.
