rust-suricatax-rule-parser

This project is an experimental Suricata rule parser written in Rust, designed to abstract away low-level parsing details and provide structured rule representations. It enables applications to work with rule elements in a meaningful way without dealing with raw rule syntax.

Key Features

• Structured Rule Representation — Parses Suricata rules into Rust data structures, removing low-level parsing complexity.
• JSON/YAML Conversion — Leverages Serde to easily convert parsed rules into JSON or YAML formats via the included rjs tool.
• Abstract Rule Parsing — Provides a higher-level abstraction over rule elements, allowing applications to focus on applying meaning to structured data.

Philosophy

The parser aims to simplify Suricata rule processing by offering a clean, structured interface that abstracts parsing details, making it easier to integrate rule analysis into other applications.
