A small lexer and parser utility library

ParxeL

A small lexer and parser utility library

Install

PyPi

pip install parxel

Usage

# Import lexer and tokens
from parxel.lexer import Lexer
from parxel.token import Token, TK

# Initialize via file name, path object, file object, or stream
lexer = Lexer(filename=filename, filepath=filepath, file=file, stream=stream)
# List of tokens depends on the defined token types defined in TK
tokens : list[Token] = lexer.tokenize()  # ['token', ' ', 'stream', ';', '...']

# Import parser
from parxel.parser import Parser

# Initialize via tokens, file name, path object, file object, or stream
parser = Parser(tokens=tokens, filename=filename, filepath=filepath, file=file, stream=stream)
parser.parse()  # has to be implemented by the concrete format

# Import nodes to represent the AST
from parxel.nodes import Document

# Sample from md.py
from md import MD

markdown = MD('README.md')
root : Document = markdown.parse()

Sample

Calling: python -m md README.md

Will produce the following AST:

MD
 Heading
  Text                bytearray(b' ParxeL')
 Text                bytearray(b'A small lexer and parser utility library')
 Heading
  Text                bytearray(b' Install')
 Reference           bytearray(b'[PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/parxel/0.0.1/)')
 Code                bytearray(b'`pip install parxel`')
 Heading
  Text                bytearray(b' Usage')
 Code                bytearray(b"```python\n# Import lexer and tokens\n [...] root : Document = markdown.parse()\n```")

The tokens of LexicalNode's should be processed. In the above example the raw token stream of the Text b' Usage' will be stripped of whitespaces and stored in the text property. Likewise the Heading node will contain the indentation level (1, 2, 3, ...) of the heading.
