What is the type parameter V in parboiled used for

Question

Some classes in the parboiled framework have a generic type parameter. E.g. the class BaseParser. In it's documentation it says:

Type Parameters:
    V - the type of the parser values

which I really not find a sufficient documentation. The documentation in the other classes is similiar or missing. Even in the wiki I didn't find information on that. They are just using Object.

Can anyone explain to me what this parameter is used for and what are valid types to hand over?

Answer 1

The Type of the parsed values, like Integer for "999". See the calc example: CalculatorParser0.java
