Description silkentrance 2016-10-15 20:49:59 UTC 
In order to be able to develop additional tools such as https://github.com/coldrye-php/nbddapigen and make them an inherent part of the IDE, it would be best to make the PHP parser, ast builder and such, a publicly available API.

The rationale behind this is that I would like to incorporate the features from nbddapigen directly into https://github.com/tusharvjoshi/NBDrupalDevel.

As of now, I would have to reimplement the parser.

Besides of that, having the parser a separate module would allow one to introduce additional compatibility levels, such as much needed compatibility towards PHP7.
