Spirit

Spirit is a set of C++ libraries for parsing and output generation implemented as Domain Specific Embedded Languages (DSEL) using Expression templates and Template Meta-Programming. The Spirit libraries enable a target grammar to be written exclusively in C++. Inline grammar specifications can mix freely with other C++ code and, thanks to the generative power of C++ templates, are immediately executable.

Spirit.X3 (3rd generation)

Documentation

The newest Spirit shines faster compile times. Currently only a parser framework.

WARNING: C++14 compilers support will be dropped soon.

Spirit X3 in Boost 1.81 (scheduled to November 2022) will use C++17 features.

Supported compilers will be:

• Clang 4 (currently 3.6)
• GCC 7 (currently 5)
• VS 2017 v15.8 (currently 2015 U3)

Spirit V2 (2nd generation)
