The Semantic Bovinator is a lexer, parser-generator, and parser. It is
|
|
|
|
|
written in Emacs Lisp and is customized to the way Emacs thinks about
|
|
|
|
|
language files, and is optimized to use Emacs' parsing capabilities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Semantic Bovinator's goal is to provide an intermediate API for
|
|
|
|
|
authors of language agnostic tools who want to deal with languages in
|
|
|
|
|
a generic way. It also provides a simple way for Mode Authors who are
|
|
|
|
|
experts in their language to provide a parser for those tool
|
|
|
|
|
authors, without knowing anything about those tools.
|
