    ANTLR

    ANTLR

    Parser generator to read, process, or translate structured text

    ANTLR (ANother Tool for Language Recognition) is a powerful parser generator for reading, processing, executing, or translating structured text or binary files. It's widely used to build languages, tools, and frameworks. From a grammar, ANTLR generates a parser that can build and walk parse trees. It’s widely used in academia and industry to build all sorts of languages, tools, and frameworks. Twitter search uses ANTLR for query parsing, with over 2 billion queries a day. The languages for Hive and Pig, the data warehouse and analysis systems for Hadoop, both use ANTLR. Lex Machina uses ANTLR for information extraction from legal texts. Oracle uses ANTLR within SQL Developer IDE and their migration tools. NetBeans IDE parses C++ with ANTLR. The HQL language in the Hibernate object-relational mapping framework is built with ANTLR.

    GJSON

    GJSON

    Get JSON values quickly, JSON parser for Go

    GJSON is a Go library designed for extremely fast, allocation-free retrieval of values from JSON documents. It enables you to query nested JSON structures using one-liner dot-notation or array-based paths and includes wildcard and comparison operators. The library is optimized for speed and zero allocations, benchmarking significantly faster than Go’s standard encoding/json unmarshal approaches. It supports parsing JSON lines (newline-delimited JSON) as an array for large stream processing. GJSON also provides modifiers (such as @reverse, @flatten, @keys) which allow transformation or inspection directly via the path syntax. Because it works on raw bytes or strings, it's suited for high-performance JSON parsing without needing to define Go struct types.

    tree-sitter

    tree-sitter

    An incremental parsing system for programming tools

    Tree-sitter is a parser generator tool and an incremental parsing library. It can build a concrete syntax tree for a source file and efficiently update the syntax tree as the source file is edited. General enough to parse any programming language. Fast enough to parse on every keystroke in a text editor. Robust enough to provide useful results even in the presence of syntax errors. Dependency-free so that the runtime library (which is written in pure C) can be embedded in any application. All of Tree-sitter’s parsing functionality is exposed through C APIs. Applications written in higher-level languages can use Tree-sitter via binding libraries like node-tree-sitter or the tree-sitter rust crate, which have their own documentation. To build the library on a POSIX system, just run make in the Tree-sitter directory. This will create a static library called libtree-sitter.a as well as dynamic libraries.

    Parser for Rust source code

    Parser for Rust source code

    Parser for Rust source code

    Parser for Rust source code is a major Rust crate for parsing Rust source code (token streams) into a syntax tree (AST) that procedural macros can inspect or transform. The primary target is macro authors: you can parse TokenStreams into syn::File, syn::Item, syn::Expr, syn::Type, etc. It offers rich data structures, fine-grained parsing, span tracking (for error reporting), traversal and mutation APIs (visit, fold, visit_mut), printing back to tokens, and strong feature-gating so you only compile what you need. The documentation emphasises that while the crate is geared for procedural macros (and custom derives), some of the APIs may be of more general use. Using syn you can effectively write code that analyzes or generates Rust code at compile time.

    body-parser

    body-parser

    Node.js body parsing middleware

    Node.js body parsing middleware. Parse incoming request bodies in a middleware before your handlers, available under the req.body property. As req.body's shape is based on user-controlled input, all properties and values in this object are untrusted and should be validated before trusting. For example, req.body.foo.toString() may fail in multiple ways, for example the foo property may not be there or may not be a string, and toString may not be a function and instead a string or other user input. The bodyParser object exposes various factories to create middlewares. All middlewares will populate the req.body property with the parsed body when the Content-Type request header matches the type option, or an empty object ({}) if there was no body to parse, the Content-Type was not matched, or an error occurred.

    JSON Parser

    JSON Parser

    JSON Parser written in C that outputs JSON into D-List list objects

    JSON parser is a highly efficient JSON data decoder written in C, that parses JSON data into a form that is very easy to use from within C code. You only need to include the json-parser.h file in your source code. If your project does not already incorporate D-List, you will also need to include dlist.h The JSON parser package also includes a JSON validator that does not parse or create resources, but allows the caller to validate JSON data from unknown sources, prior to any parsing attempts. The JSON data is returned to the caller as a set of hierarchical D-List list objects, that make the data very easy to manage, sort, search or use, and easy to remove when done. Package includes a JSON textural generator which will create JSON grammar data blocks from hierarchical D-List representations of JSON data. The package also includes a variety of support functions to allow C code to easily find, add, and modify JSON values and members in D-List hierarchical structures.

    Ox: Attribute Grammar Compiling System

    Ox: Attribute Grammar Compiling System

    Ox is an attribute-grammar evaluator generator.

    Ox is an attribute grammar compiling system that augments Lex and Yacc specifications with definitions of synthesized and inherited attributes written in a combination of Ox and C/C++ syntax. From these augmented specifications, Ox generates ordinary Lex and Yacc specifications that build and decorate attributed parse trees. The user can specify parse-tree traversals for easy ordering of side effects such as code generation. Ox handles the tedious and error-prone details of writing code for parse-tree management, so its use eases problems of security and maintainability associated with that aspect of translator development.
