SyntaxMapper

The SyntaxMapper class has several methods to manage or access syntaxes:

• The class has a method which allows to install new syntax packs
• The class allows to get a syntax with its name (or alternate name)
• The class allows to get a syntax with its associated file extension
• The class allows to get a syntax with its associated MIME type

Adding a syntax pack

The SyntaxMapper.installSyntaxPack(URL, boolean) method allows to add a syntax pack to the editor.

Using the file extension to get the syntax

The SyntaxMapper.getSyntaxForExtension(String, boolean) and SyntaxMapper.getSyntaxForExtension(String) methods allow to use the file extension to get the syntax.

Alternatively, the SyntaxMapper.getSyntaxForExtension(File, boolean) and SyntaxMapper.getSyntaxForExtension(File) methods allow to use the file itself to get the syntax.

Using the MIME type to get the syntax

The SyntaxMapper.getSyntaxForMIME(String, boolean) and SyntaxMapper.getSyntaxForMIME(String) methods allow to use the MIME type to get the syntax.
