AIML

libAIML by Varol Okan:

This repository continues the work of the C++ AIML parser from V01D.
It is based off of version 0.6.1 of libaiml.
I also include the source of std_utils-0.7.5 in here to make it easier to compile the code

BUILD:

./rebuild.sh

This script will do the following
cd std_utils
./configure
cd ..

autoreconf -i
./configure --enable-caiml --enable-pcrecpp --enable-javascript --with-v8-path=/path/to/v8
make

Note: --enable-javascript: You need to make sure that the library files are either in the search path ( I.e. ise LDFLAGS, and LIBS ) or you can specify the path to v8's top source directory with --with-v8-path=/path/to/v8/ Please let me know if you run into issues with the libs. You can modify configure.in and run autoconf afterwards and try again ./configure ...

RUN:

This should build std_util, libaiml, and the test_app.

cd test_app
cp libaiml.xml.dist libaiml.xml
./test_app

Once you have grown tired of chatting you can simply type

quit

JAVASCRIPT

JavaScript is handled natively through v8.
Please follow the instructions on https://developers.google.com/v8/build to build the libraries.

Since JS is not well specified in the AIML spec, I added test_app/aiml/TestJavaScript.aiml file to deonstrate how to use it with libAIML.
Note that the CDATA construct is required for libxml2 to properly read in the JS code.

Also please note that you will have access to the aiml - object in JavaScript.

  var aiml = { 
    user : "name",
    star : "star",
    that : "that",
    topic: "topic",
    bot  : {
      someBotVars ...
    }
  }

to test the JS categories you can enter
You: test something
or
You: test aiml

    This is cool <star/>.
