Language Support¶
Algorilla analyzes source code in four language groups, each with its own parser. All 28 rules work across all languages unless noted otherwise.
Supported Languages¶
-
Java · GA
Full ANTLR parser with complete AST. The most mature language support — production-ready with low false-positive rate.
-
Kotlin · Alpha
Lightweight text-based parser with Kotlin-specific idiom recognition. Early support — higher false-positive rates expected.
-
Groovy · Beta
ANTLR parser extending the Java grammar, with GDK method recognition. Usable with caveats — use
--confidence highfor best results. -
JavaScript / TypeScript · Beta
Lightweight parser covering JS, TS, and Vue single-file components. Usable with caveats — use
--confidence highfor best results.
Rule Coverage Matrix¶
All rules work on the language-agnostic intermediate representation (IR), so most rules apply to all languages. Only rules that target platform-specific APIs are restricted.
