Parser Generator written in Kotlin common

1

I’m hoping that this will be useful to some folk.
I have written a parser in Kotlin common code.
It takes a context-free grammar (EBNF like syntax) and provides a parser.
Works at runtime, no code generation step.

I’d be interested in any feedback, thoughts, contributions.

an introduction article is here

and the code is of course available from github.

Nice. Did you try to use GitHub - h0tk3y/better-parse: A nice parser combinator library for Kotlin along side with your generator?

No i didn’t.
But thanks for the pointer, it might be a good option for a future variation / enhancement.

I’ve written a PEG parser generator in pure Kotlin (JVM target only), similar to Java’s parboiled library.
You may give it a try: grampa

Also, maybe have a look at GitHub - valderman/konbini: Parser library for Kotlin.
