GO::Pa..._parser(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is GO::Parsers::go_xref_parser — it does syntax parsing of GO xref flat files (like eg2go, metacyc2go), and honestly? she's a specialist, she's booked, she's busy 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

do not use this class directly; use GO::Parser

not me telling you to your face that you can't talk to this class directly 😭 she doesn't take walk-ins, she only works through GO::Parser. respect the receptionist, okay?

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does she actually do? she generates Stag event streams from one of the various GO flat file formats — that's ontology, defs, xref, and associations, the whole little friend group 🫶

for the deets, go see GO::Parser. fr fr, that's where the lore lives.

and if you wanna see examples of these files irl? they're hanging out at http://www.geneontology.org 🌈

now, a description of the event streams generated follows 👇 — Stag or an XML handler can be used to catch these events, so pick your fighter and start catching ✨

🦋 GO XREF FILES 🦋

these files have a filename *2go; for example, metacyc2go — the 2go on the end is the vibe check, iykyk 👑

and here's the event stream shape, verbatim, no cap:

(dbxrefs
  (termdbxref+
    (termacc "s")
    (dbxref
      (xref_dbname "s")
      (xref_key "s"))))

look at that nesting. the way she said termdbxref+ and meant it. iconic 💜

like okay mystery queen, keep your secrets, we love a main character who refuses to be perceived 🙈
