JLaTo is a Java Language Tools library.

JLaTo currently provides:

• Parsing of Java source files up to Java 1.8 version (that runs with Java 1.6+)
• An immutable abstract syntax tree with fluent mutators
• Lexical preservation of whitespaces and comments
• Formatting of new (and already formatted) abstract syntax trees with formatting settings
• [Experimental] Matching/Filtering/Searching of abstract syntax trees with patterns
• [Experimental] Quasi-quotes of Java snippets to ease the building of new abstract syntax trees and patterns

In the long term, JLaTo also aims to provide:

• Semantic analysis of abstract syntax trees
• A add-on mechanism to enable syntactic and semantic extensions
