This is a Java implementation of a RiveScript interpreter, per the Working Draft at http://www.rivescript.com/wd/RiveScript.html
This is BETA QUALITY SOFTWARE and hasn't been field tested as much as some of the other RiveScript libraries in other languages.
It is feature complete syntax-wise: it supports all of the RiveScript directives and tags, but it doesn't natively support any dynamic language for object macros. You can define object macros in Java at compile-time, and there's an example that bridges Perl code; long-term plans include building in native support for JavaScript.
This repository is a little bit light on examples; most of the examples for how
to do things are found in the source of RSBot.java and the RiveScript files
in the Aiden/ directory. These demonstrate things like Java object macros,
using the Perl macro bridge, etc.
If you find a way to crash this library, please tell me how you did it so I can improve this library!
Contributions are welcome. See CONTRIBUTING.md for more information.
Documentation is available at https://www.rivescript.com/docs/java/
The RSBot.java is a simple implementation of a Java RiveScript bot. You
can use it to quickly chat with the Eliza-based bot in the Aiden/ folder.
These commands may be used at your input prompt in RSBot:
/quit - Quit the program
/dump topics - Dump the internal topic/trigger/reply struct (debugging)
/dump sorted - Dump the internal trigger sort buffers (debugging)
/last - Print the last trigger you matched.
I use a GNU Makefile to simplify builds and other commands (feel free to send a pull request to switch to Ant or something). Useful commands:
make build: compiles RSBot.java and, therefore, RiveScript.make run: compiles RSBot.java and immediately runs it.make test: run unit tests with JUnit.make clean: cleans up.classfiles.make javadoc: deletes thedoc/folder and recreates it with thejavadoccommand, for generating library documentation.
Compile RSBot.java using make build. If you're running on Windows and don't
have a Make program installed, you can compile the bot with the javac command
directly:
Unix: $ make build
Win32: > javac RSBot.java
Then execute RSBot to begin chatting with the demo Eliza-based bot that
tends to ship with RiveScript libraries.
Unix: $ java RSBot
Win32: > java RSBot
This library is tested using JUnit. To run the test suite,
make sure that JUnit is available on your $CLASSPATH, for example by adding
the jar file:
export CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:/path/to/junit-4.10.jar"And then type make test to run the unit tests.
