The parse/translate/c-parse/c-translate commands now recognize the option jsontree=true to augment the returned JSON structure with a field called "jsontree" next to the field "tree", or "jsontrees" next to "trees", containing the the returned syntax tree in JSON format (the same format returned by the abstrjson command, similar to the format returned in the "brackets" field).
DESCRIPTION
The Grammatical Framework (=GF) is a grammar formalism based on type theory.
It consists of
* a special-purpose programming language
* a compiler of the language
* a generic grammar processor
The compiler reads GF grammars from user-provided files, and the
generic grammar processor performs various tasks with the grammars:
* generation
* parsing
* translation
* type checking
* computation
* paraphrasing
* random generation
* syntax editing
GF particularly addresses four aspects of grammars:
* multilinguality (parallel grammars for different languages)
* semantics (semantic conditions of well-formedness, semantic
properties of expressions)
* grammar engineering (modularity, abstractions, libraries)
* embeddability in programs written in other languages (C,C++,
Haskell, Java, JavaScript)
