# Abstract Syntax Tree Expression Representation and Operations (`kmath-ast`)
This subproject implements the following features:
- [expression-language](src/jvmMain/kotlin/kscience/kmath/ast/parser.kt) : Expression language and its parser
- [mst](src/commonMain/kotlin/kscience/kmath/ast/MST.kt) : MST (Mathematical Syntax Tree) as expression language's syntax intermediate representation
- [mst-building](src/commonMain/kotlin/kscience/kmath/ast/MstAlgebra.kt) : MST building algebraic structure
- [mst-interpreter](src/commonMain/kotlin/kscience/kmath/ast/MST.kt) : MST interpreter
- [mst-jvm-codegen](src/jvmMain/kotlin/kscience/kmath/asm/asm.kt) : Dynamic MST to JVM bytecode compiler
- [mst-js-codegen](src/jsMain/kotlin/kscience/kmath/estree/estree.kt) : Dynamic MST to JS compiler

## Dynamic expression code generation
### On JVM
`kmath-ast` JVM module supports runtime code generation to eliminate overhead of tree traversal. Code generator builds
a special implementation of `Expression<T>` with implemented `invoke` function.
For example, the following builder:
```kotlin
RealField.mstInField { symbol("x") + 2 }.compile()
```
… leads to generation of bytecode, which can be decompiled to the following Java class:
```java
package space.kscience.kmath.asm.generated;
import java.util.Map;
import kotlin.jvm.functions.Function2;
import space.kscience.kmath.asm.internal.MapIntrinsics;
import space.kscience.kmath.expressions.Expression;
import space.kscience.kmath.expressions.Symbol;
public final class AsmCompiledExpression_45045_0 implements Expression<Double> {
private final Object[] constants;
public final Double invoke(Map<Symbol, ? extends Double> arguments) {
return (Double)((Function2)this.constants[0]).invoke((Double)MapIntrinsics.getOrFail(arguments, "x"), 2);
}
public AsmCompiledExpression_45045_0(Object[] constants) {
this.constants = constants;
}
}
```
### Example Usage
This API extends MST and MstExpression, so you may optimize as both of them:
```kotlin
RealField.mstInField { symbol("x") + 2 }.compile()
RealField.expression("x+2".parseMath())
```
#### Known issues
- The same classes may be generated and loaded twice, so it is recommended to cache compiled expressions to avoid
class loading overhead.
- This API is not supported by non-dynamic JVM implementations (like TeaVM and GraalVM) because of using class loaders.
### On JS
A similar feature is also available on JS.
```kotlin
RealField.mstInField { symbol("x") + 2 }.compile()
```
The code above returns expression implemented with such a JS function:
```js
var executable = function (constants, arguments) {
return constants[1](constants[0](arguments, "x"), 2);
};
```
#### Known issues
- This feature uses `eval` which can be unavailable in several environments.
