Abstract

Disclosed is a method and system to obtain a structured grammar, based on a restricted language (e.g., a known subset of a full language such as a computer language) that may assist with automated parsing and correlation of configuration files conforming to the structured grammar. Once obtained, a plurality of different network device configuration documents (e.g., config file information) may be parsed to create a scaffold view using slots for correlated data across the plurality of different network devices. For example, the scaffold view may include populated branches of the scaffold representative of the plurality of different network device configuration documents. Maintaining a correlation of source data to changes in a single view based on the scaffolding may be used to comprehensively view and edit configuration information.
