It&#8217;s called Better Parsing for Java. This is made for easier data saving to files, and dummy-proofing user input in games. For example: You could ask the user his\/her age, and the user replies, &#8220;I am 14.&#8221; The Better Parsing would read the whole line, and pick out 14 from that String, and convert it to an Integer. With save files, you could save the data &#8220;Can Fly = false&#8221; and Better parsing could load that String, pick out &#8220;false&#8221;, and convert it to a Boolean. Right now there are Integers, Booleans, Doubles, and Bytes. I plan on more to come!<\/p>\n <p>I streamed the whole thing, which you can find <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/gandalf1209\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <p>Have a great day!<\/p>\n <p>&#8211; Gandalf1209<\/p>","time":"May 29th, 2014 7:36 pm","title":"Better Parsing: First Update"}
