First: http://github.com/richard-lyman/amotoen
Second: Amotoen is a Clojure library that supports PEG style definitions of grammars that can produce parsers. While there are academic papers available that rigorously define PEG, I've found that PEGs, or Parsing Expression Grammar(s), are best explained by the related Wikipedia page. The clj-peg library was a predecessor to Amotoen and as such, Amotoen keeps the feel of the syntax in clj-peg. There are, however, significant differences between using clj-peg and using Amotoen. The most significant of those differences can be found in the lack of macros, gen-class, or gen-interface. The clj-peg library used the dirty three in the core, and Amotoen avoids all of them entirely. Amotoen uses runtime processing of a given grammar, where clj-peg used macro time expansion of a grammar. Amotoen uses protocols instead of interfaces. Amotoen uses internally defined Throwables instead of gen-classed Errors. All of these changes result in far greater ease of use as well as increased maintainence. Third: The candy... there is a JSON grammar that is mostly done, as well as a Markdown grammar that is the shortest I've seen but is mostly not done. -Rich -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
