Data Structures
Passgen uses data structures to optimize both the parsing of patterns into the AST, and the generation of passphrases from them.
The AST of a Passgen
pattern is represented by the Pattern type, which comes in three variants:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
Pattern<Parsed> | Optimized for parsing a Passgen pattern (insertion). |
Pattern<Optimized> | Data structure optimized for generating a Passgen pattern. |
Pattern<Prepared> | Data structure which has all external dependencies resolved and is ready for generation. |
