It means +that it's very easy to write parsers without thinking about lookaheads +and other hardcore parsing stuff. However, recursive descent parsing is +a rather slow method compared to LL(k) or LR(k) algorithms. Still, +parsing with funcparserlib is at least twice faster than PyParsing, a +very popular library for Python. + +The source code of funcparserlib is only 1.2K lines of code, with lots +of comments. Its API is fully type hinted. It features the longest +parsed prefix error reporting, as well as a tiny lexer generator for +token position tracking. |
