peg
A Packrat parser generator for Parsing Expression Grammars (PEG) implemented in Go.
What is peg?
PEG is a parser generator tool that implements Packrat parsing for Parsing Expression Grammars (PEG) in Go. It allows developers to define grammars that can handle complex parsing tasks with features like backtracking and negative look-ahead, which are challenging for regular expression engines. The tool generates Go code from PEG grammar files, enabling integration into Go applications.
Go developers and language tooling engineers who need to build parsers for custom languages, data formats, or complex text processing tasks.
Developers choose PEG for its efficient Packrat parsing algorithm, seamless Go code generation, and support for advanced parsing features not available in standard regex libraries, making it ideal for implementing robust parsers.
Overview
Peg, Parsing Expression Grammar, is an implementation of a Packrat parser generator.
Use Cases
Best For
- Building parsers for custom domain-specific languages (DSLs)
- Implementing syntax highlighting or linting tools
