Nginx configuration parser based on ANTLR4 grammar

Primary LanguageJava

Nginx configuration Java parser

This library helps in analyzing Nginx web server configuration files, looking up for specified parameters, blocks, regular expressions or comments. Then AST can be modified and converted back to plain file.

Features

  • Convert config file to AST tree using ANTLR4 parsing capabilities
  • The same is available for JavaCC too (deprecated)
  • Rebuild config files and dump them back to *.conf
  • Nested blocks support
  • If statements support
  • Unquoted regexp within location/rewrite/if statements support
  • Comments support

Installation

Add the following dependency to your POM:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.odiszapc</groupId>
    <artifactId>nginxparser</artifactId>
    <version>0.9.3</version>
</dependency>

Examples

Parser

How to perform basic parsing of the following Nginx config:

NgxConfig conf = NgxConfig.read("/etc/nginx/nginx.conf");
NgxParam workers = conf.findParam("worker_processes");       // Ex.1
workers.getValue(); // "1"
NgxParam listen = conf.findParam("http", "server", "listen"); // Ex.2
listen.getValue(); // "8889"
List<NgxEntry> rtmpServers = conf.findAll(NgxConfig.BLOCK, "rtmp", "server"); // Ex.3
for (NgxEntry entry : rtmpServers) {
    ((NgxBlock)entry).getName(); // "server"
    ((NgxBlock)entry).findParam("application", "live"); // "on" for the first iter, "off" for the second one
}

/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:

worker_processes  1;            # <- Ex.1

http {
    server {
        listen       8889;      # <- Ex.2
        server_name  localhost;
    }
}

rtmp {
    server {                    # <- Ex.3 (first)
        listen 1935;
        application myapp {
            live on;
        }
    }

    server {                    # <- Ex.3 (second)
        listen 1936;
        application myapp2 {
            live off;
        }
    }
}
Dumper
NgxConfig conf = NgxConfig.read("/etc/nginx/nginx.conf");
// ...
NgxDumper dumper = new NgxDumper(conf);
return dumper.dump(System.out);
