PEGO: Pure Golang Parser Generator

Example: Calculator

package calc

expr <- term (term_binary_op term)*
term <- factor (factor_binary_op factor)*
term_binary_op <- "+" / "-"
factor_binary_op <- "*" / "/"
factor <- group / number
group <- "(" expr ")"
number <- [0-9]+

Generate parser from grammer.pego:

go run ./cmd/pego ./examples/calc/grammer.pego

Testing parse by generated parser_gen.go:

go test ./examples/calc/

Given:

1+2*(3-4)/5
