| 1 The analysis package defines support for performing static analysis of Dart |
| 2 code. It was designed to support tooling efforts, but has also been used for |
| 3 such things as statistics gathering and code transformers. |
| 4 |
| 5 If you are interested in providing Dart support in a long-running tool, such as |
| 6 an editor or IDE, you should use the analysis server instead of this package. |
| 7 The analysis server is currently shipped as an executable in the SDK and will |
| 8 be released as a package in the near future. In the meantime, if you'd like to |
| 9 learn more about it, please look at the |
| 10 [Analysis Server API Specification](http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github
.com/dart-lang/sdk/blob/master/pkg/analysis_server/doc/api.html) |
| 11 or contact the mailing list (see below). |
| 12 |
| 13 The API's in this package are, quite frankly, a mess at the moment. They were |
| 14 originally machine generated by a translator and were based on an earlier Java |
| 15 implementation. Several of the API's still look like their Java predecessors |
| 16 (or worse) rather than clean Dart API's. |
| 17 |
| 18 In addition, there is currently no clean distinction between public and internal |
| 19 API's. We plan to address this issue soon, but doing so will, unfortunately, |
| 20 require a large number of breaking changes. We will try to minimize the pain |
| 21 this causes for our clients, but some pain is inevitable. |
