Token Parser Example

This example demonstrates how to use the pkg/tokens/parsers package to parse different token list formats from various sources including Uniswap, Status, CoinGecko, and custom formats.

What it demonstrates

• Multiple parser types: Standard, Status, CoinGecko, and List-of-Lists formats
• Input validation: JSON schema validation and token data verification
• Chain filtering: Parse only tokens from supported blockchain networks
• Error handling: Robust error handling for invalid data and formats
• Format comparison: Understanding different token list formats and their use cases
• Parser selection: Choosing the right parser for your data source

Parser Types Overview

1. Standard Token List Parser (StandardTokenListParser)

Format: Uniswap-style token lists Use Case: Most common format used by Uniswap, Compound, and many others

parser := &parsers.StandardTokenListParser{}
tokenList, err := parser.Parse(jsonData, supportedChains)

JSON Structure:

{
  "name": "Token List Name",
  "timestamp": "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "version": {"major": 1, "minor": 0, "patch": 0},
  "tokens": [
    {
      "chainId": 1,
      "address": "0x...",
      "symbol": "USDC",
      "name": "USD Coin",
      "decimals": 6,
      "logoURI": "https://..."
    }
  ]
}

2. Status Token List Parser (StatusTokenListParser)

Format: Status-specific format with tokens grouped by chain Use Case: Optimized for multi-chain applications

parser := &parsers.StatusTokenListParser{}
tokenList, err := parser.Parse(jsonData, supportedChains)

JSON Structure:

{
  "name": "Status Token List",
  "timestamp": "2025-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
  "version": {"major": 2, "minor": 1, "patch": 0},
  "tokens": {
    "1": [
      {
        "address": "0x...",
        "symbol": "USDC",
        "name": "USD Coin",
        "decimals": 6
      }
    ],
    "56": [...]
  }
}

3. CoinGecko All Tokens Parser (CoinGeckoAllTokensParser)

}

Code Examples

Basic Parsing

import (
    "github.com/status-im/go-wallet-sdk/pkg/tokens/parsers"
)

// Choose appropriate parser
parser := &parsers.StandardTokenListParser{}

// Define supported chains
supportedChains := []uint64{1, 56, 10, 137} // Ethereum, BSC, Optimism, Polygon

// Parse token list
tokenList, err := parser.Parse(jsonData, supportedChains)

if err != nil {
    log.Printf("Failed to parse: %v", err)
    return
}

// Access parsed data
fmt.Printf("Parsed %d tokens from %s\n", len(tokenList.Tokens), tokenList.Name)

Chain Filtering

// Only parse Ethereum tokens
ethereumOnly := []uint64{1}
tokenList, err := parser.Parse(jsonData, ethereumOnly)

// Parse all tokens (no filtering)
allChains := []uint64{} // Empty slice means no filtering
tokenList, err := parser.Parse(jsonData, allChains)

Error Handling

tokenList, err := parser.Parse(jsonData, supportedChains)
if err != nil {
    switch {
    case strings.Contains(err.Error(), "invalid character"):
        log.Println("Invalid JSON format")
    case strings.Contains(err.Error(), "missing required field"):
        log.Println("Required field missing")
    case strings.Contains(err.Error(), "invalid address"):
        log.Println("Invalid Ethereum address format")
    default:
        log.Printf("Parse error: %v", err)
    }
    return
}

Parser Selection Strategy

func selectParser(jsonData []byte) parsers.TokenListParser {
    var raw map[string]interface{}
    if err := json.Unmarshal(jsonData, &raw); err != nil {
        return nil
    }

    // Check for Standard format (has "tokens" array)
    if tokens, ok := raw["tokens"].([]interface{}); ok {
        return &parsers.StandardTokenListParser{}
    }

    // Check for Status format (has "tokens" object with chain keys)
    if tokensObj, ok := raw["tokens"].(map[string]interface{}); ok {
        for key := range tokensObj {
            if _, err := strconv.ParseUint(key, 10, 64); err == nil {
                return &parsers.StatusTokenListParser{}
            }
        }
    }

    // Check for CoinGecko format (has coin IDs as keys)
    if len(raw) > 0 {
        for key, value := range raw {
            if obj, ok := value.(map[string]interface{}); ok {
                if _, hasID := obj["id"]; hasID {
                    if _, hasPlatforms := obj["platforms"]; hasPlatforms {
                        return &parsers.CoinGeckoAllTokensParser{}
                    }
                }
            }
            break // Check only first entry
        }
    }

    return &parsers.StandardTokenListParser{} // Default fallback
}

Validation Features

Address Validation

All parsers validate Ethereum addresses:

// Valid formats accepted:
"0xA0b86a33E6441b6d9e4AEda6D7bb57B75FE3f5dB"  // Checksummed
"0xa0b86a33e6441b6d9e4aeda6d7bb57b75fe3f5db"  // Lowercase
"0XA0B86A33E6441B6D9E4AEDA6D7BB57B75FE3F5DB"  // Uppercase

// Invalid formats rejected:
"A0b86a33E6441b6d9e4AEda6D7bb57B75FE3f5dB"    // Missing 0x prefix
"0xInvalidAddress"                              // Invalid hex
"0x123"                                        // Wrong length

Token Data Validation

• Symbol: Non-empty string, reasonable length (1-10 characters)
• Name: Non-empty string, reasonable length (1-50 characters)
• Decimals: Integer between 0-18 (standard ERC-20 range)
• Chain ID: Must be in supported chains list (if provided)

JSON Schema Validation

Optional schema validation available:

// Enable schema validation
parser := &parsers.StandardTokenListParser{
    ValidateSchema: true,
}

// Custom schema validation
err := parser.ValidateAgainstSchema(jsonData, schemaURL)

Integration Patterns

With Token Manager

// Parse and add to manager
rawData := fetchTokenListData()
parser := &parsers.StandardTokenListParser{}

tokenList, err := parser.Parse(rawData, supportedChains)

if err != nil {
    return err
}

// Add to token manager
manager.AddTokenList("parsed-list", tokenList)

With Token Fetcher

// Fetch and parse pipeline
f := fetcher.New(fetcher.DefaultConfig())
fetchDetails := fetcher.FetchDetails{
    ListDetails: types.ListDetails{
        ID:        "uniswap-default",
        SourceURL: "https://tokens.uniswap.org",
        Schema:    "", // add json or url to schema if known
    },
}

fetchedData, err := f.Fetch(ctx, fetchDetails)
if err != nil {
    return err
}

// Parse with appropriate parser
parser := &parsers.StandardTokenListParser{}
tokenList, err := parser.Parse(fetchedData.JsonData, supportedChains)

Batch Processing

// Process multiple token lists with different parsers
type ParseJob struct {
    Data    []byte
    Parser  parsers.TokenListParser
    Source  string
    Chains  []uint64
}

func processBatch(jobs []ParseJob) ([]*types.TokenList, []error) {
    results := make([]*types.TokenList, len(jobs))
    errors := make([]error, len(jobs))

    for i, job := range jobs {
        result, err := job.Parser.Parse(job.Data, job.Chains)
        results[i] = result
        errors[i] = err
    }

    return results, errors
}

Best Practices

1. Parser Selection

// Use appropriate parser for your data source
var parser parsers.TokenListParser

switch dataSource {
case "uniswap", "compound", "aave":
    parser = &parsers.StandardTokenListParser{}
case "status":
    parser = &parsers.StatusTokenListParser{}
case "coingecko":
    parser = &parsers.CoinGeckoAllTokensParser{}
default:
    parser = &parsers.StandardTokenListParser{} // Safe default
}

2. Error Handling

// Always handle parsing errors gracefully
tokenList, err := parser.Parse(data, chains)
if err != nil {
    log.Printf("Failed to parse token list: %v", err)
    // Continue with other lists or use cached version
    return
}

// Validate result
if len(tokenList.Tokens) == 0 {
    log.Printf("Warning: token list contains no supported tokens")
}

3. Chain Management

// Define chain priorities
priorityChains := []uint64{1, 10, 42161} // Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum
allChains := []uint64{1, 10, 42161, 56, 137} // Include BSC, Polygon

// Use priority chains for critical paths
criticalTokens, _ := parser.Parse(data, priorityChains)

// Use all chains for comprehensive discovery
allTokens, _ := parser.Parse(data, allChains)

4. Performance Optimization

// Reuse parser instances
var standardParser = &parsers.StandardTokenListParser{}

// Cache parsed results
type ParseCache struct {
    cache map[string]*types.TokenList
    mutex sync.RWMutex
}

func (c *ParseCache) GetOrParse(key string, data []byte, parser parsers.TokenListParser) (*types.TokenList, error) {
    c.mutex.RLock()
    if cached, exists := c.cache[key]; exists {
        c.mutex.RUnlock()
        return cached, nil
    }
    c.mutex.RUnlock()

    // Parse if not cached
    result, err := parser.Parse(data, supportedChains)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    c.mutex.Lock()
    c.cache[key] = result
    c.mutex.Unlock()

    return result, nil
}
