/NPEG

The framework can output equivalent parsers natively in C/C++/C#/Java/PHP/JavaScript. Developed with TDD since 2008.

Primary LanguageC#

NPEG - .NET Parsing Expression Grammar.

  • The framework can output equivalent parsers natively in C/C++/C#/Java/PHP/JavaScript. Tool Here
  • The framework can read and write it's own DSL. DSL Documentation.

The inline DSL is only supported in C#. All other languages must use the DSL inside the language workbench to export the parse tree in your target language. All offline versions will be faster so we provide an offline C# version also. You can grab dependencies for your target language here: https://github.com/leblancmeneses/NPEG/tree/master/Languages

How to get started

Watch this pair programming session as Leblanc writes a math expression solver.

Nuget Packages

Offline version which requires exporting the parse tree using the language workbench.

Install-Package RobustHaven.Text.Npeg

Online version that allows building the parse tree from a string using the NPEG DSL.

Install-Package NPEG
