ARD, Annotation Regex Deserialisation

ARD was created as a way of deserialising chunks of text (HTML, but applies to other structured text as well) by annotating POJOs with Regex matchers.

Warning

This is garbage work in progress

Quickstart

Annotate your properties like so

@ObjectExpression("^.+$")
public class MySimplePojo {

    @FieldExpression("[Ff]irst.+[Pp]roperty")
    public String firstProperty;

    @FieldExpression("[Ss]econd.+[Pp]roperty")
    private String secondProperty;

    public void setSecondProperty(String value) {
        this.secondProperty = value;
    }
}

@FieldExpression - required annotation to capture value from input

@ObjectExpression - optional annotation to limit scope of capture from input
