jparsec
A pure Java library for building recursive-descent parser combinators, inspired by Haskell Parsec.
What is jparsec?
jparsec is a parser combinator library for Java that allows developers to build recursive-descent parsers using a functional, compositional approach. It solves the problem of parsing complex grammars by providing a declarative API that resembles BNF, along with accurate error location and operator precedence support.
Java developers who need to implement custom parsers for domain-specific languages, configuration files, or data formats without relying on external parser generators.
Developers choose jparsec for its pure Java implementation, rich set of combinators, and the ability to define parsers declaratively, which reduces boilerplate and improves readability compared to traditional parsing approaches.
