Overview

Syntax.

This is an internal class, it is not supposed to be instantiated directly.

However, you can use it directly, if you need a parser of our syntax. You can create your own “Term” class and let this parser make instances of it for every term it meets in the query:

require 'factbase/syntax'
t = Factbase::Syntax.new('(hello world)', MyTerm).to_term

The MyTerm class should have a constructor with two arguments: the operator and the list of operands (Array).
