PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause DowntimeReactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.

Win flex-bison
Win flex-bison is a port Flex & Bison tools to the Windows platform
Win flex-bison is a windows port the Flex (the fast lexical analyser) and Bison (GNU parser generator). win_flex based on Flex version 2.6.3 source code and win_bison based on Bison version 2.7 and they depend on system libraries only. Git repository: https://github.com/lexxmark/winflexbison UPDATE1: Bison version 3.x.x available in Files section in win_flex_bison3-latest.zip package.

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. -

MLton
A whole-program optimizing compiler for Standard ML
MLton is a whole-program optimizing compiler for Standard ML.

In addition, MLton provides a feature rich Standard ML programming environment, with full support for SML97 as given in The Definition of Standard ML (Revised), a number of useful language extensions, a complete implementation of the Standard ML Basis Library, various useful libraries, a simple and fast C foreign function interface, the ML Basis system for programming with source libraries, and tools such as a lexer generator, a parser generator, and a profiler. -

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). -

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. -

PSD.js
A Photoshop PSD file parser for NodeJS and browsers
psd.js is an open-source JavaScript library (CoffeeScript/JS) for reading and parsing Adobe Photoshop PSD files in both Node.js and web browsers. It reconstructs the document into a DOM-like tree with layers, masks, text metadata, vector information, and pixel data. It enables developers to traverse layer structures, extract flattened or individual image buffers, and integrate PSD assets programmatically in web or backend applications. -

Optimize JS
Optimize a JS file for faster parsing
Optimize JS is an experimental JavaScript transformation tool created to reduce initial parsing and execution time in older browser engines. It parses JavaScript into a syntax tree and identifies functions that are immediately invoked or likely to execute eagerly. Those functions are wrapped in parentheses so engines such as older V8 versions can avoid unnecessary lazy preparsing. The tool can operate from the command line or through a JavaScript API and can optionally generate source maps. Plugins were also created for Grunt, Gulp, and webpack workflows. Historical benchmarks showed improvements in several older browsers, but results varied significantly by engine and workload. The project is unmaintained, and its author and the V8 team now advise against assuming the technique benefits modern browsers. -

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. -

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. -

soulng
Lexer and parser generator tool for C++
The SoulNG project contains two tools: a lexical analyzer generator slg and a parser generator spg. The generators and the produced lexical analyzers and parsers use four C++ libraries that are also included in the project. The slg tool takes a .lexer file that contains the description of a lexical analyzer as input and produces C++ source code for a lexical analyzer as output. The produced lexical analyzer is a finite state machine that recognizes patterns described as regular expressions and return corresponding token identifiers to the parser. The spg tool takes .parser files that contain descriptions of parsers as input and produces C++ source code for parser classes as output. The parser generator produces a recursive descent top-down backtracking parser that use the lexical analyzer generated by slg to tokenize the input. -
