Provides classes for dealing with Stack Overflow artifacts.

It also provides means to serialize and deserialize them from JSON files.

Tutorial

The main class to consider is ch.usi.inf.reveal.parsing.artifact.StackOverflowArtifact, representing a Stack Overflow discussion.

The main way to obtain a Stack Overflow discussion is to deserialize it froma JSON file, using ArtifactSerializer.

import ch.usi.inf.reveal.parsing.artifact._
val jsonFilePath = /*path to json file*/
val serializer = new ArtifactSerializer()
val discussion = serializer.deserializeFromFile(jsonFilePath)

You can now inspect the discussion, for example by getting the question (a StackOverflowQuestion object) or answers (a seq of StackOverflowAnswer):

scala> val question = discussion.question
question: ch.usi.inf.reveal.parsing.artifact.StackOverflowQuestion = ...

scala> val answers = discussion.answers
answers: Seq[ch.usi.inf.reveal.parsing.artifact.StackOverflowAnswer] = ...

The way to get the object representing the poster of the question (a StackOverflowUser) is the following:

scala> val posterUser = question.owner
posterUser: Option[ch.usi.inf.reveal.parsing.artifact.StackOverflowUser] = Some(StackOverflowUser(...))

You can also easily get the comments (objects of StackOverflowComment), for example the ones posted for the question:

scala> val questionComments = question.comments
questionComments: Seq[ch.usi.inf.reveal.parsing.artifact.StackOverflowComment] = ...

The easy way to get all information units (ch.usi.inf.reveal.parsing.units.InformationUnit) and the HASTs (classes implementing the ch.usi.inf.reveal.parsing.model.HASTNode trait) for an element (question or answer or comment) is:

scala> val allUnits = discussion.units
allUnits: Seq[ch.usi.inf.reveal.parsing.units.InformationUnit] = List(...)

scala> val astNodes = allUnits.map { _.astNode }
astNodes: Seq[ch.usi.inf.reveal.parsing.model.ASTNode] =

For further information about the information units, the HAST and the model, please check the documentation of ch.usi.inf.reveal.parsing.model and ch.usi.inf.reveal.parsing.units.
