port of JS/CC to nodejs
JS/CC-NODE
This project is a implementation of JS/CC to nodejs (version >= 0.4.7).
INTRODUCTION
JS/CC is the first available parser development system for JavaScript and ECMAScript-derivates. It has been developed, both, with the intention of building a productive compiler development system and creating an easy-to-use academic environment for people interested in how parse table generation is done generally in bottom-up parsing.
The platform-independent software unions both: A regular expression-based lexical analyzer generator matching individual tokens from the input character stream and a LALR(1) parser generator, computing the parse tables for a given context-free grammar specification and building a stand-alone, working parser. The context-free grammar feeds to JS/CC is defined in a Backus-Naur-Form-based meta language, and allows the insertion of individual semantic code to be evaluated on a rule's reduction.
JS/CC itself has been entirely written in JavaScript. These versions are capable of assembling a complete compiler from a JS/CC parser specification, which is then stored to a .js JavaScript source file.
To use JS/CC and for understanding its internals and behaviors, some knowledge of context-free grammars, bottom-up parsing techniques and compiler construction theory, in general, is assumed.
DOCUMENTATION
For all documentation read the jscc_manual.pdf
in doc/ folder.
Installation
npm install jscc-node
This install a jscc binary inside your node path, that you can run from the shell
