Hime parser generator
Hime is a parser generator that targets .Net, Java and Rust. Hime relies on the LR family of parsing techniques, including the state of the art RNGLR algorithm for generalized LR parsing used for ambiguous grammars. Hime provides a powerful, expressive, and feature-rich grammar language with support for template syntactic rules, context-sensitive lexing (useful for contextal keywords), tree actions (useful for clean syntax trees), and more!
Hime is also available through packet managers (NuGet, Maven, Cargo). Head to the Download page for more information.
