[1] [2] It is specialized for use in text editors, as it supports incremental parsing for updating parse trees while code is edited in real time, [3] and provides a built-in S-expression query system for analyzing code. [4] Text editors which have official integrations with Tree-sitter include Atom, [5] GNU Emacs, [6] Neovim, [7] Lapce, [8] Zed ...
A classic example of a problem which a regular grammar cannot handle is the question of whether a given string contains correctly nested parentheses. (This is typically handled by a Chomsky Type 2 grammar, also termed a context-free grammar.)
In computer programming, a parser combinator is a higher-order function that accepts several parsers as input and returns a new parser as its output. In this context, a parser is a function accepting strings as input and returning some structure as output, typically a parse tree or a set of indices representing locations in the string where parsing stopped successfully.
Predictive parsing is possible only for the class of LL grammars, which are the context-free grammars for which there exists some positive integer k that allows a recursive descent parser to decide which production to use by examining only the next k tokens of input.
In computer science, a generator is a routine that can be used to control the iteration behaviour of a loop. All generators are also iterators. [1] A generator is very similar to a function that returns an array, in that a generator has parameters, can be called, and generates a sequence of values.
an empty section on the parse stack, lookahead text "A" scanned as an id symbol, and; the remaining unscanned text "*2 + 1". The parse stack begins by holding only initial state 0. When state 0 sees the lookahead id, it knows to shift that id onto the stack, and scan the next input symbol *, and advance to state 9.
A parsing expression language is a set of all strings that match some specific parsing expression. [1]: Sec.3.4 A parsing expression grammar is a collection of named parsing expressions, which may reference each other. The effect of one such reference in a parsing expression is as if the whole referenced parsing expression was given in place of ...
A parse tree or parsing tree [1] (also known as a derivation tree or concrete syntax tree) is an ordered, rooted tree that represents the syntactic structure of a string according to some context-free grammar. The term parse tree itself is used primarily in computational linguistics; in theoretical syntax, the term syntax tree is more common.
