Problems solved by technology

Developers often encounter two types of problems: (1) There is a gap in the level of abstraction between development tasks and API functions
This process takes a lot of time and effort from developers, especially for developers new to programming and unfamiliar with the codebase

Abstract

The invention discloses a construction method and a code generation method of a software project natural language programming interface NLI. The code generation method comprises the following steps: 1) packaging each (functional feature-API call mode) of a software project into a primitive in an NLI, wherein the primitive comprises functional feature description of the primitive, an API call mode,an object parameter and other parameters; 2) determining an abstract syntax tree node type corresponding to the primitive; wherein a child node and an attribute owned by the node of the type are specified in each node type; after all child nodes and attributes of the nodes are bound with corresponding Java code text areas, generating an abstract syntax tree of codes by a projection editor in theNLI primitive parameter complementation process; and 3) starting from the root node of the abstract syntax tree, recursively converting each node, inserting the attributes and child nodes in the nodesof the abstract syntax tree into the vacant parts in the API calling mode, and finally generating Java codes corresponding to the primitives.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for automatically constructing a natural language programming interface (Natural Language Interface, NLI) of a software item and a code generation method based on the NLI, belonging to the technical field of computer software. Background technique [0002] The rapid development of open source software has accumulated a large number of reusable resources for software reuse, which has greatly increased the proportion of reuse in the development process, supporting and promoting the development of software reuse. During the development process, software developers often need to reuse the existing code library / software project, and use the programming interface (Application Programming Interface, API) provided by it to complete the development task coding. [0003] In the process of software reuse based on API, although the object of reuse is software API, the actual development task revolves around the software functions ...
