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. -

RapidJSON
A fast JSON parser/generator for C++ with both SAX/DOM style API
RapidJSON is a JSON parser and generator for C++. It was inspired by RapidXml. RapidJSON is small but complete. It supports both SAX and DOM style API. The SAX parser is only a half thousand lines of code. RapidJSON is fast. Its performance can be comparable to strlen(). It also optionally supports SSE2/SSE4.2 for acceleration. RapidJSON is self-contained and header-only. It does not depend on external libraries such as BOOST. It even does not depend on STL. RapidJSON is memory-friendly. Each JSON value occupies exactly 16 bytes for most 32/64-bit machines (excluding text string). By default it uses a fast memory allocator, and the parser allocates memory compactly during parsing. RapidJSON is Unicode-friendly. It supports UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32 (LE & BE), and their detection, validation and transcoding internally. For example, you can read a UTF-8 file and let RapidJSON transcode the JSON strings into UTF-16 in the DOM. It also supports surrogates and "\u0000" (null character). -

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. -

This project has moved to GitHub ! The version here at SourceForge will remain for historic purpose. Koopa is a parser generator, made for COBOL. It can handle source files in isolation (no preprocessing required) and doesn't mind the presence of CICS/SQL fragments. The grammar is easily extensible in a way which minimizes the impact on the overall code.

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. -

PEG.js
PEG.js is a parser generator for JavaScript
PEG.js is a simple parser generator for JavaScript that produces fast parsers with excellent error reporting. You can use it to process complex data or computer languages and build transformers, interpreters, compilers and other tools easily. PEG.js is still very much work in progress. There are no compatibility guarantees until version 1.0. Based on parsing expression grammar formalism, more powerful than traditional LL(k) and LR(k) parsers. Usable from your browser, from the command line, or via JavaScript API. -

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. -

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.
