parsing

About this tag
The parsing tag on WindowsForum.com covers a range of topics related to interpreting and analyzing data formats, from software engineering and compiler APIs to security vulnerabilities. Discussions include parsing in the context of C# and VB compilers via Project Roslyn, which exposes APIs for code analysis, as well as parsing vs. transforming data in Azure Data Factory for legacy data integration. Security advisories highlight vulnerabilities in TrueType font parsing that could allow elevation of privilege, and a fix for SVG graphics with large attribute values that may not be parsed correctly. The tag also touches on language understanding through Cognitive Services APIs, which parse text for meaning, and software essays that influence pragmatic engineering practices.

    Windows 7 Going Deeper with Project Roslyn: Exposing the C# and VB compiler’s code analysis

    Until now, the VB and C# compilers have been used as black boxes. You put text in, and you get out a binary file. In our long-lead project, codename "Roslyn," we are changing that dynamic by building an API that exposes our compilers' analysis engines. In this session, we'll go in-depth in...
