    Parsing Expression Grammar Template Library

    I personally prefer to use parsing combinator libraries in C++, where the "grammar" is just part of normal C++ and directly integrate. Examples are Boost.Spirit, pegtl, or (my own) lexy.

  • lexertl14

    C++14 version of lexertl

  • parsertl14

    C++14 version of parsertl

  • bpr_cpp_lexer_mirror

    Compile time generated lexical analyzers.

    If you like TMP check out my bachelors thesis you might like my lexer. Granted it's 2 years old but works and I think the API is quite nice (compilation times are stupid long though).
