Show HN: Sparser – A Multilanguage Parser
28 by austincheney | 3 comments on Hacker News.
* https://sparser.io * http://bit.ly/2Y7BVtz This is my attempt at creating a universal language parser. It attempts to solve a couple of problems: * Support multiple languages * Recursively extend support to languages embedded within other languages * Output a uniform format for all supported languages This is a personal project so any feedback would be helpful. Something interesting I found after I built it is that this parser is not as fast to write output as many other JavaScript parsers, but its output is much faster to read from due to the simplicity and predictability of the format.
