javalangThread
javalangThread is a component within the javalang library, a Java parser and analysis tool written in Python. Its primary function is to facilitate the parsing of Java source code by processing it in a multithreaded manner. This approach can significantly speed up the analysis of large codebases by allowing multiple parts of the Java code to be parsed concurrently.
The javalang library itself provides a way to represent Java code as an abstract syntax tree (AST),
