Abstract

(Q&A) website for developers, and it has been used in many approaches by software engineering researchers to mine useful data. However, the contents of a Stack Overflow discussion are inherently heterogeneous, mixing natural language, source code, stack traces and configuration files in XML or JSON format. We constructed a full island grammar capable of modeling the set of 700,000 Stack Overflow discussions talking about Java, building a heterogeneous abstract syntax tree (H-AST) of each post (question, answer or comment) in a discussion. The resulting dataset models every Stack Overflow discussion, providing a full H-AST for each type of structured fragment (i.e., JSON, XML, Java, Stack traces), and complementing this information with a set of basic meta-information like term frequency to enable natural language analyses. Our dataset allows the end-user to perform combined analyses of the Stack Overflow by visiting the H-AST of a discussion. I.
