Should data filtering be done while building the parse tree or after the parse tree is built?

Show all headers | View raw

Hi Folks,

I am building a parser to parse some data.

I want to filter some of the data.

For example, I want to "fuzz" latitude and longitude values to contain just
two digits to the right of the decimal point.

    Fuzz this latitude value:
          42.3583
    to this:
         42.35

When should filtering be done?

Should I embed filtering rules into the grammar -- perform filtering as I
build the parse tree?

Or, should I build the parse tree and then have an application perform
filtering on the parse tree?

/Roger
