Recursive descent parser — A recursive descent parser is a top down parser built from a set of mutually recursive procedures (or a non recursive equivalent) where each such procedure usually implements one of the production rules of the grammar. Thus the structure of the… … Wikipedia
Parser combinator — In functional programming, a parser combinator is a higher order function which accepts several parsers as input and returns a new parser as its output. In this context, a parser is a function accepting strings as input and returning some… … Wikipedia
Parser Combinator — In mathematics and functional programming, Higher Order functions (HOF) are defined as the functions that can take functions as their input and can also produce functions as their output. The use of a HOF as an infix operator in a function… … Wikipedia
Operator-precedence parser — An operator precedence parser is a bottom up parser that interprets an operator precedence grammar. For example, most calculators use operator precedence parsers to convert from the human readable infix notation with order of operations format… … Wikipedia
Tail recursive parser — Tail recursive parsers are derived from the more common Recursive descent parsers. Tail recursive parsers are commonly used to parse left recursive grammars. They use a smaller amount of stack space than regular recursive descent parsers. They… … Wikipedia
LR parser — In computer science, an LR parser is a parser for context free grammars that reads input from Left to right and produces a Rightmost derivation. The term LR( k ) parser is also used; here the k refers to the number of unconsumed look ahead input… … Wikipedia
LL parser — An LL parser is a top down parser for a subset of the context free grammars. It parses the input from Left to right, and constructs a Leftmost derivation of the sentence (hence LL, compared with LR parser). The class of grammars which are… … Wikipedia
Spirit Parser Framework — The Spirit Parser Framework is an object oriented recursive descent parser generator framework implemented using template metaprogramming techniques. Expression templates allow users to approximate the syntax of Extended Backus Naur Form (EBNF)… … Wikipedia
Packrat Parser — Ein Packrat Parser ist ein spezieller Parser, der Funktionsweise eines rekursiv absteigenden Parsers (recursive descent parser) ähnlich, der während des Parsing Prozesses die Zwischenergebnisse aller rekursiven Aufrufe behält und damit viele… … Deutsch Wikipedia
Comparison of parser generators — This is a list of notable lexer generators and parser generators for various language classes. Contents 1 Regular languages 2 Deterministic context free languages 3 Parsing expression grammars, deterministic boolean grammars … Wikipedia
