A lexing and parsing toolkit for Rust

[kamadorueda]

Repo: GitHub - kamadorueda/santiago: Santiago is a lexing and parsing toolkit for Rust
Docs and examples: santiago - Rust

It provides a lexer much like Flex and a parser like GNU Bison, which are awesome tools but which are not compatible with Rust

And unlike lalrpop, pomelo, and pest which are also amazing libraries; santiago is able to handle any context-free grammar thanks to a more generic algorithm than LR(1) or LALR, allowing you to write grammars in a more natural way and care less about ambiguities, recursion, or transforming the rules in a way that the engine is happy with

So, It would be very nice if you pass by, give it a try, help me shake bugs, tell me what do you think and drop your star!

Some updates:

• Version 1 was released! With lots of documentation improvements and examples:
  • docs: santiago - Rust
  • repo: GitHub - kamadorueda/santiago: Santiago is a lexing and parsing toolkit for Rust
• I ported a lexer and parser previously written in C++ (Flex + Bison) to Rust:
  GitHub - kamadorueda/nixel: Lexer, Parser, Abstract Syntax Tree and Concrete Syntax Tree for the Nix Expressions Language
  which serves as an excellent example of how real life complex languages can be handled by Santiago, from nothing to the AST!
