Iguana

Functional Description

Objective: To provide a data-dependent context-free general parsing infra-structure for parsing programming languages and other formal data, program and modeling notations.

Impact: Iguana is a fast implementation of data-dependent grammars based on the GLL context-free parsing algorithm with data-dependent non-terminals and constraints on top. It comes with a number of high-level disambiguation constructs which are translated to the intermediate layer of data-dependent (E)BNF before being loaded into an object-oriented implementation of GLL based on abstract transition network. Using Iguana parsers for languages which are considered to be hard to parse (such as Haskell and OCAML) are within reach of being generated from simple declarative specifications  [25] .
