About:
Goyacc is a parser generator for Go, based on the classic Yacc algorithm. It processes a grammar file to generate Go source code for a parser, enabling efficient parsing of complex input streams. This tool is essential for developers building compilers, interpreters, or any application requiring structured input analysis.
Key Features:
  • Generates Go parser code from LALR(1) grammar specifications
  • Integrated with Go tooling for seamless development workflows
  • Produces efficient and deterministic parsers
  • Supports state machine generation for optimized performance
Use Cases:
  • Building custom Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) in Go
  • Developing compilers and interpreters for new programming languages
  • Parsing complex configuration or data formats
Alternatives:
  • goyacc (original) – This modernc.org version is a maintained fork often preferred for its active development and compatibility with current Go versions.
  • goyacc (robpike) – The original version by Rob Pike; the modernc.org fork is generally more up-to-date.
