Abstract
Embodiments of the methods and apparatus for automatic cross language program code translation are provided. One or more characters of a source programming language code are tokenized to generate a list of tokens. Thereafter, the list of tokens is parsed to generate a grammatical data structure comprising one or more data nodes. The grammatical data structure may be an abstract syntax tree. The one or more data nodes of the grammatical data structure are processed to generate a document object model comprising one or more portable data nodes. Subsequently, the one or more portable data nodes in the document object model are analyzed to generate one or more characters of a target programming language code.
