lex-parser
A parser for lexical grammars used by jison and jison-lex.
install
npm install @gerhobbelt/lex-parseror the entire bundle via
npm install jison-ghoThen the lex-parser library is located in the subdirectory packages/lex-parser/ of the jison-gho monorepo, i.e. .../node_modules/jison-gho/packages/lex-parser/.
Alternatively, the entire lex-parser API is also available via the jison API itself as can be seen from this internal jison code snippet:
import Lexer from '../packages/jison-lex';
import ebnfParser from '../packages/ebnf-parser';
import lexParser from '../packages/lex-parser';
import grammarPrinter from './util/grammar-printer.js';
import helpers from '../packages/helpers-lib';
var rmCommonWS = helpers.rmCommonWS;
var camelCase = helpers.camelCase;
var code_exec = helpers.exec;
import XRegExp from '@gerhobbelt/xregexp';
import recast from '@gerhobbelt/recast';
import astUtils from '@gerhobbelt/ast-util';
import json5 from '@gerhobbelt/json5';
// Also export other APIs: the JISON module should act as a 'facade' for the others,
// so applications using the JISON compiler itself can rely on it providing everything
// in a guaranteed compatible version as it allows userland code to use the precise
// same APIs as JISON will be using itself:
Jison.Lexer = Lexer;
Jison.ebnfParser = ebnfParser;
Jison.lexParser = lexParser;
Jison.codeExec = code_exec;
Jison.XRegExp = XRegExp;
Jison.recast = recast;
Jison.astUtils = astUtils;
Jison.JSON5 = json5;
Jison.prettyPrint = grammarPrinter;
Jison.rmCommonWS = rmCommonWS;
Jison.mkStdOptions = mkStdOptions;
Jison.camelCase = camelCase;
Jison.autodetectAndConvertToJSONformat = autodetectAndConvertToJSONformat;
...
Jison.Parser = Parser;
export default Jison;hence you can get at it this way, for example:
import jisonAPI from 'jison-gho';
// get a reference to the full `lex-parser` API:
const lexParserAPI = jisonAPI.lexParser;build
Follow the install & build directions of the monorepo.
You can also only build this particular subpackage by cd-ing into this directory
and then invoking the local make:
cd packages/lex-parser
makeThis will generate lex-parser.js and the rollup/babel-postprocessed ES6 and ES5
compatible libraries in the local dist/ directory.
Note about ES6/rollup usage vs. ES5
All
dist/library files are 'self-contained': they include all 'local imports' from within this jison monorepo in order to deliver a choice of source files for your perusal where you only need to worry about importing external dependencies (such asrecast).As such, these
dist/files should be easier to minify and/or use in older (ES5) environments.rollup
Iff you use
rollupor similar tools in an ES6/ES2015/ES2017 setting, then thepackage.json::modulehas already been set up for you to use the original sources instead!
usage
var lexParser = require("@gerhobbelt/lex-parser");
// parse a lexical grammar and return JSON
lexParser.parse("%% ... ");example
The parser can parse its own lexical grammar, shown below:
%code imports %{
import helpers from 'jison-helpers-lib';
%}
ASCII_LETTER [a-zA-z]
// \p{Alphabetic} already includes [a-zA-z], hence we don't need to merge
// with {UNICODE_LETTER} (though jison has code to optimize if you *did*
// include the `[a-zA-Z]` anyway):
UNICODE_LETTER [\p{Alphabetic}]
ALPHA [{UNICODE_LETTER}_]
DIGIT [\p{Number}]
WHITESPACE [\s\r\n\p{Separator}]
ALNUM [{ALPHA}{DIGIT}]
NAME [{ALPHA}](?:[{ALNUM}-]*{ALNUM})?
ID [{ALPHA}]{ALNUM}*
DECIMAL_NUMBER [1-9][0-9]*
HEX_NUMBER "0"[xX][0-9a-fA-F]+
BR \r\n|\n|\r
// WhiteSpace MUST NOT match CR/LF and the regex `\s` DOES, so we cannot use
// that one directly. Instead we define the {WS} macro here:
WS [^\S\r\n]
// Quoted string content: support *escaped* quotes inside strings:
QUOTED_STRING_CONTENT (?:\\\'|\\[^\']|[^\\\'\r\n])*
DOUBLEQUOTED_STRING_CONTENT (?:\\\"|\\[^\"]|[^\\\"\r\n])*
// backquoted ES6/ES2017 string templates MAY span multiple lines:
ES2017_STRING_CONTENT (?:\\\`|\\[^\`]|[^\\\`])*
// Accept any non-regex-special character as a direct literal without
// the need to put quotes around it:
ANY_LITERAL_CHAR [^\s\r\n<>\[\](){}.*+?:!=|%\/\\^$,\'\";]
%s rules macro named_chunk
%x code start_condition options conditions action path set
// Off Topic
// ---------
//
// Do NOT specify the xregexp option as we want the XRegExp \p{...} regex macros converted to
// native regexes and used as such:
//
// %options xregexp
%options easy_keyword_rules
%options ranges
%options xregexp
