Welcome to DHParser’s documentation!
DHParser is a parser-generator and and domain-specific-languages construction kit, designed for but not restricted to Digital-Humanities-applications.
DHParser offers:
EBNF-based grammar-specification language with support for different flavors of EBNF
Parsing-Expression-Grammar (PEG)-parser with memoization and full left-recursion support
full unicode support
unit-testing-framework for grammars
post-mortem debugger for generated parsers
support for fail-tolerant parsing
customizable error messages
extensive tree-processing facilities
support for building language servers (experimental)
DHParser is by now mature and “production ready”. It is being used in several projects, most notably for the domain specific notation of the Medieval Latin Dictionary and the Typescript-to-Python-interface-transpiler ts2python
