Front-end libraries and utilities for the Transmuter language processing infrastructure.
- Aether -- a self-declared language declaration language
- Conditional declaration of language features
- POSIX ERE-based language
- NFA-based implementation
O(n)complexity- Ignorable tokens (for eg. comments, newlines and whitespaces)
- On-demand and memoized tokenization
- Longest match tokenization
- Ambiguous generalization as workaround
- Ambiguous tokenization
- Precedence-based disambiguation
- Generalized CFG-based language (including ambiguities and left-recursion)
- Recursive Descent-based implementation (using backtracking instead of lookahead)
- Memoized parsing
O(n^3)complexity- Recursive Ascent-based left-recursion implementation
- Iteration-based alternative to (left-)recursion
SPACE(n^3)ambiguous BSR-based output- Ordered choice and longest match-based disambiguation
- Syntax sugar for optionals and expression grouping
- Dual BSR / Syntax Tree APIs
- Visitors and transformers
- BSR <-> Syntax Tree converters
- Symbol Table
