Forum: Ruby parslet 1.5.0

parslet is many peoples favorite parser construction toolkit. It uses a
grammar system called Parsing Expression Grammar (PEG)[1]. With parslet,
you can create neat parsers, from big to small. parslet has unit testing
support and spits out error messages for human beings.

Installation:

gem install parslet

Synopsis:

   require 'parslet'
   class Mini < Parslet::Parser
     rule(:integer) { match('[0-9]').repeat(1) }
     root(:integer)
   end

   Mini.new.parse("132432") # => "132432"@0

Changes:

Why the new release? So soon? Here's why: parslet 1.5 features Ruby
HEREDOC support! Please look at the documentation or the 'capture.rb' in
the examples folder[2].

This also includes a few bugfixes, notably to EOF support - end of file
conditions are now normal error conditions that are handled by the same
code that handles other parse errors. As a consequence of this, you
might notice improved messages on premature EOF.
