# Module kmath-ast
Extensions to MST API: transformations, dynamic compilation and visualization.
- [expression-language](src/commonMain/kotlin/space/kscience/kmath/ast/parser.kt) : Expression language and its parser
- [mst-jvm-codegen](src/jvmMain/kotlin/space/kscience/kmath/asm/asm.kt) : Dynamic MST to JVM bytecode compiler
- [mst-js-codegen](src/jsMain/kotlin/space/kscience/kmath/estree/estree.kt) : Dynamic MST to JS compiler
- [rendering](src/commonMain/kotlin/space/kscience/kmath/ast/rendering/MathRenderer.kt) : Extendable MST rendering
## Artifact:
The Maven coordinates of this project are `space.kscience:kmath-ast:0.3.0-dev-17`.
**Gradle:**
```gradle
repositories {
maven { url 'https://repo.kotlin.link' }
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
implementation 'space.kscience:kmath-ast:0.3.0-dev-17'
}
```
**Gradle Kotlin DSL:**
```kotlin
repositories {
maven("https://repo.kotlin.link")
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
implementation("space.kscience:kmath-ast:0.3.0-dev-17")
}
```
## Parsing expressions
In this module there is a parser from human-readable strings like `"x^3-x+3"` (in the more specific [grammar](reference/ArithmeticsEvaluator.g4)) to MST instances.
Supported literals:
1. Constants and variables (consist of latin letters, digits and underscores, can't start with digit): `x`, `_Abc2`.
2. Numbers: `123`, `1.02`, `1e10`, `1e-10`, `1.0e+3`—all parsed either as `kotlin.Long` or `kotlin.Double`.
Supported binary operators (from the highest precedence to the lowest one):
1. `^`
2. `*`, `/`
3. `+`, `-`
Supported unary operator:
1. `-`, e. g. `-x`
Arbitrary unary and binary functions are also supported: names consist of latin letters, digits and underscores, can't start with digit. Examples:
1. `sin(x)`
2. `add(x, y)`
## 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 code:
```kotlin
import space.kscience.kmath.asm.compileToExpression
import space.kscience.kmath.complex.ComplexField
"x+2".parseMath().compileToExpression(ComplexField)
```
&mldr; leads to generation of bytecode, which can be decompiled to the following Java class:
```java
import java.util.Map;
import kotlin.jvm.functions.Function2;
import space.kscience.kmath.asm.internal.MapIntrinsics;
import space.kscience.kmath.complex.Complex;
import space.kscience.kmath.expressions.Expression;
import space.kscience.kmath.expressions.Symbol;
public final class CompiledExpression_45045_0 implements Expression<Complex> {
private final Object[] constants;
public Complex invoke(Map<Symbol, ? extends Complex> arguments) {
Complex var2 = (Complex)MapIntrinsics.getOrFail(arguments, "x");
return (Complex)((Function2)this.constants[0]).invoke(var2, (Complex)this.constants[1]);
}
}
```
Setting JVM system property `space.kscience.kmath.ast.dump.generated.classes` to `1` makes the translator dump class files to program's working directory, so they can be reviewed manually.
#### Limitations
- 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 or GraalVM Native Image because they may not support class loaders.
### On JS
A similar feature is also available on JS.
```kotlin
import space.kscience.kmath.expressions.Symbol.Companion.x
import space.kscience.kmath.expressions.*
import space.kscience.kmath.operations.*
import space.kscience.kmath.estree.*
MstField { x + 2 }.compileToExpression(DoubleField)
```
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);
};
```
JS also supports experimental expression optimization with [WebAssembly](https://webassembly.org/) IR generation.
Currently, only expressions inside `DoubleField` and `IntRing` are supported.
```kotlin
import space.kscience.kmath.expressions.Symbol.Companion.x
import space.kscience.kmath.expressions.*
import space.kscience.kmath.operations.*
import space.kscience.kmath.wasm.*
MstField { x + 2 }.compileToExpression(DoubleField)
```
An example of emitted Wasm IR in the form of WAT:
```lisp
(func $executable (param $0 f64) (result f64)
(f64.add
(local.get $0)
(f64.const 2)
)
)
```
#### Limitations
- ESTree expression compilation uses `eval` which can be unavailable in several environments.
- WebAssembly isn't supported by old versions of browsers (see https://webassembly.org/roadmap/).
## Rendering expressions
kmath-ast also includes an extensible engine to display expressions in LaTeX or MathML syntax.
Example usage:
```kotlin
import space.kscience.kmath.ast.*
import space.kscience.kmath.ast.rendering.*
import space.kscience.kmath.misc.*
@OptIn(UnstableKMathAPI::class)
public fun main() {
val mst = "exp(sqrt(x))-asin(2*x)/(2e10+x^3)/(12)+x^(2/3)".parseMath()
val syntax = FeaturedMathRendererWithPostProcess.Default.render(mst)
val latex = LatexSyntaxRenderer.renderWithStringBuilder(syntax)
println("LaTeX:")
println(latex)
println()
val mathML = MathMLSyntaxRenderer.renderWithStringBuilder(syntax)
println("MathML:")
println(mathML)
}
```
Result LaTeX:
<div style="background-color:white;">
![](https://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?%5Coperatorname{exp}%5C,%5Cleft(%5Csqrt{x}%5Cright)-%5Cfrac{%5Cfrac{%5Coperatorname{arcsin}%5C,%5Cleft(2%5C,x%5Cright)}{2%5Ctimes10^{10}%2Bx^{3}}}{12}+x^{2/3})
</div>
Result MathML (can be used with MathJax or other renderers):

It is also possible to create custom algorithms of render, and even add support of other markup languages
(see API reference).
