Parser Modules¶
The parser modules are the one which works directly with a parser in order to process a code file and get processed data structures. With these datastructures you will be able to work in your security modules.
You should have a parser module for each programming language you want to work with, but can have different parser for the same programming language if you like.
These modules can be found in the main directory of BOA, concretely in the directory “parser_modules”. The files you will find there will have a name like “boapm_whatever.py”, but is not necessary to follow the nomenclature. You can name your modules as you like. If you want to write your own, you will have to store your module in the expected directory (i.e. /path/to/BOA/parser_modules).
All your parser modules will need to inherit from BOAParserModuleAbstract in order to work as a parser module.
