Abstract :
Regular expressions are used to parse textual data to match patterns and extract variables. They have been implemented in a vast number of programming languages with a significant quantity of research devoted to improving their operational efficiency. However, regular expressions are limited to finding linear matches. Little research has been done in the field of object-oriented results which would allow textual or binary data to be converted to multi-layered objects. This is significantly relevant as many of todaypsilas data formats are object-based. This paper extends our previous work by detailing an algorithmic approach to perform object-oriented parsing, and provides an initial study of benchmarks of the algorithms of our contribution.
