LuLPeg
A pure Lua port of LPeg, a Parsing Expression Grammars library for pattern matching and text processing.
What is LuLPeg?
LuLPeg is a pure Lua port of LPeg, Roberto Ierusalimschy's Parsing Expression Grammars library. It provides a powerful pattern-matching and text processing toolkit for Lua developers, enabling grammar construction, parsing, and complex text transformations without external C dependencies.
Lua developers who need advanced text processing, parsing, or grammar implementation capabilities in environments where native extensions (like the original LPeg) aren't available or desirable.
Developers choose LuLPeg when they need LPeg's functionality in pure Lua environments—it's portable, dependency-free, and serves as a drop-in replacement for the original library, though with some performance trade-offs.
Overview
A port of LPeg 100% written in Lua.
