SimpleParse is a BSD-licensed Python package providing a simple parser
|
||
|
|
generator for use with the mxTextTools text-tagging engine. SimpleParse allows
|
||
|
|
you to generate tagging tables for use with the text-tagging engine directly
|
||
|
|
from your EBNF grammar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unlike most parser generators, SimpleParse generates single-pass parsers
|
||
|
|
(there is no distinct tokenization stage), an approach taken from the
|
||
|
|
predecessor project (mcf.pars) which attempted to create "autonomously parsing
|
||
|
|
regex objects". The resulting parsers are not as generalized as those created
|
||
|
|
by, for instance, the Earley algorithm, but they do tend to be useful for the
|
||
|
|
parsing of computer file formats and the like (as distinct from natural
|
||
|
|
language and similar "hard" parsing problems).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition to the parser generator, the SimpleParse project includes a
|
||
|
|
sub-project to create a modified version of the mxTextTools engine which
|
||
|
|
reorganizes the code to allow for certain common EBNF constructs.
